Investment approach
ReSI plc’s purpose is to generate secure income for shareholders by delivering affordable, high-quality, safe homes with great customer service and long-term stability of tenure for residents. ReSI plc aims to achieve this through meeting demand from housing developers (housing associations, local authorities and private developers) for long-term investment partners to accelerate the development of socially and economically beneficial affordable housing.
The key differentiators of ReSI plc’s investment approach are:
- Secure rents underpinned by pensions, housing welfare or shared owner stakes
- Incredibly diversified income stream from thousands of homes and residents
- Over £30k of government subsidy received for each new shared ownership home we deliver via ReSI Housing Limited, our wholly-owned for-profit Registered provider of social housing, allowing us to provide below-market rents to residents compared to private rented housing*
- Unique proprietary shared ownership Customer and Environmental Charters maximises social impact
- Low-cost and amortising debt funding with an average 23-year maturity, including a unique 45-year, 0.6% coupon, RPI-linked £300mn debt facility**
