"Is there demand in my area?"

When first starting to investigate supported living as a strategy, this is the question we get asked most frequently. To help investors make informed decisions, we created an Area Appraisal - a comprehensive report of supported living opportunities in your target location.

What Our Area Appraisal Includes

Our in-depth appraisal provides you with:

• A breakdown of the local authority's plans for supported living and housing in general
• Analysis of current supply and demand for supported living accommodation
• Details on how councils find their care providers (through frameworks, DPS, or Spot Purchase)
• Information about local demand from care providers registered with us
• A breakdown of care providers and registered providers in the area and their specialisms
• Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rates and potential rental yields
• Access to the council's Market Positioning Statement where available
• Where possible, contact details of key decision-makers

If you have a specific property already in your portfolio, we can also circulate its details directly to our care providers to gauge immediate interest.

Real Investor Experience

Here's what one investor said about the Area Appraisal we provided:

"The Supported Living Gateway team were able to offer us an Area Appraisal for our local area, as we were keen to implement the supported living strategy.

This was fantastic as it gave us key practical statistics as well as great insight into how the supported living strategy integrates into our local council and related services, with the key contacts and details that stem off from this for us to follow up with. Without this, I wouldn't know where to start.

This has been a great supplement to our business to help us move forward, not only has it been useful but also practical to action too - Thanks to the SLG team for your kind support!"

Why Area Appraisals Matter

Understanding how the supported living strategy integrates with your local council is crucial before investing. Without knowing which care providers operate in the area, how they secure clients, or what property types are in demand, you risk making uninformed investment decisions.

Our Area Appraisal gives you both strategic insight and practical information to move forward with confidence.
