A Fully Managed Investment Opportunity
One of the key advantages of investing in Coltran Mill is the fully managed nature of the development. All properties are leased to a non-profit housing company under a fully internally repairing insurance (FIRI) lease, meaning that all repair and maintenance costs are covered by the leaseholder, not the investor. Additionally, this lease comes with annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) increases, providing substantial growth potential in rental income as inflation rises.
Key Investment Highlights:
- Starting price: £199,995 for apartments
- 9.1% rental yield for 25 years
- CPI-linked rent increases for long-term growth
- Fully managed investment with all running and repair costs covered
- Instant income generation upon purchase
For investors seeking a hands-off investment, Coltran Mill offers the peace of mind that comes with long-term leases, professional management, and regular income increases without the responsibility of day-to-day property management.
Why Invest in Assisted Living?
The assisted living market is one of the most stable and profitable sectors in UK property investment. As the population ages and the demand for specialized housing solutions grows, supported living properties have emerged as a secure investment option with above-average rental yields. Assisted living properties like those at Coltran Mill provide homes for individuals who require additional care and support, often secured by long-term government-backed or non-profit leases, ensuring stability for both residents and investors.
Additionally, investing in assisted living gives investors the opportunity to make a positive social impact by providing safe and suitable housing for vulnerable individuals. With rising demand in this sector, it’s clear that assisted living investments are not only financially rewarding but also fulfilling from a community-focused perspective.
