About
Silkwood Group
Our mission is to help investors build long-term UK property portfolios with structured, professionally managed assets.
We're investors ourselves and we know the questions that matter!
Built for Long-Term Security
Behind the scenes, we work alongside one of the UK’s most experienced developers in this space, a group that has delivered over £350 million worth of supported housing. Entirely cash funded, they don’t rely on bank financing, which ensures greater control over build quality, timelines, and delivery.
The properties are then operated and managed by registered providers and Community Interest Companies. With over 4,500 units under management, the operational infrastructure is well-established and professionally run.
Everything is built, owned, and managed with long-term stability in mind. That's how we've become a trusted partner for family offices, pension funds, wealth managers, and serious investors looking for inflation-linked income from UK property.

The Regulatory Framework Behind UK Supported Housing
Specialist supported housing operates within a defined statutory framework. The investor proposition is underpinned by long-term regulatory oversight across housing, care, and funding.
Housing Regulation
Housing providers operating in the supported housing sector are registered with and regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing under the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. The RSH sets governance, financial viability, and consumer standards for the sector, and has statutory powers of intervention where standards are not met.
Funding Framework
The rent payable under a Management Agreement is met through Housing Benefit, administered by local authorities on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions. Specialist supported housing sits within "specified accommodation" rules established under DWP guidance, which recognise the specific cost structure of providing this type of accommodation.
Care
Oversight
The care and support delivered to residents is regulated separately by the Care Quality Commission, the independent regulator of health and social care in England. The CQC's "real tenancy test" ensures that housing and care provision remain functionally independent, protecting residents and clarifying the role of each party in the structure.
The sector is also defined by the Government's 2020 Policy Statement on Rents for Social Housing, which sets out the specific criteria a property must meet to qualify as specialist supported housing.
Got Questions? We've Got Straight Answers.
Everything you need to know about investing with confidence.
Who will be living in the property?
Residents are adults who need long-term support to live independently in the community. They are referred through Community Benefit Societies via local authorities. Each resident has access to trained support workers, and the housing provider is responsible for managing the tenancy and property. The model is designed so that residents receive the support they need while investors hold an asset with professional management throughout.
What's the long-term outlook for supported housing demand?
Demand for specialist accommodation significantly exceeds supply across the UK, supported by long-term local authority commissioning. The sector operates under Management Agreements that include annual CPI+1% rent increases, so the rent payable rises in line with inflation each year.
What if the property is unoccupied?
Under the Management Agreement, the housing provider pays the rent regardless of occupancy. The rent obligation sits with the housing provider, not the individual resident. Housing Benefit, administered by local authorities on behalf of central government, is the underlying funding mechanism the housing provider draws on to meet that obligation.
What ongoing costs does the investor cover?
Under the FRI (Full Repairing and Insuring) Management Agreement, the housing provider is responsible for maintenance, management, service charges, and the day-to-day running costs of the property throughout the term.
Can I sell the property during the agreement?
Yes. The Management Agreement stays with the property regardless of ownership change. The annual CPI+1% rent mechanism applies for the full term of the agreement. Sale value at any point in time will depend on market conditions and the remaining term of the agreement.
What happens if the housing provider faces difficulties?
Housing providers in this sector are regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing. If a provider faces financial difficulty, the RSH has powers to intervene, including arranging for stock to be transferred to another regulated provider. The continuity of accommodation and rent obligation is overseen within the regulatory framework that governs the sector.
