How to Protect a Lump Sum and Generate Hands-Free Income

Sep 4, 2025

When our clients come to us for the first time, they often share the same story.


They have had a capital event: selling a house, selling a business, or receiving an inheritance. It is usually a significant amount of money, and it may be the only time they receive that kind of lump sum.


The number one priority for these clients is not how much they can make, but how to protect what they already have.


Catherine’s Story


Catherine inherited her family home. Unable to work, her priority was making sure she did not lose that money. She invested in two supported housing properties through Bailey Capital.


Now, she owns both outright, receives stable monthly income, and knows her capital is secure because she owns the assets.


Paul’s Story


Paul built and sold a successful business. For him and his family, the goal was the same — not to lose the money he had worked so hard to earn.


He reinvested a portion of his proceeds into supported housing. He still owns the properties, receives predictable income, and his investment is protected.


Why Our Model Works for Capital Protection


1. You Own the Property

When you buy through us, you have full freehold title ownership. No matter what happens, the bricks and mortar are yours.


2. A Three-Step Approval Process

We ensure:

• Local authority approval for supported housing use

• Local authority approval for the housing provider

• Local authority approval for the rent charged


This creates a structure for predictable, secure income.


3. Inflation-Proof Leases

Our leases are inflation-linked, meaning your rent increases every year in line with inflation. This protects your returns in real terms and often helps your asset value grow.


4. Fully Hands-Free Structure

We arrange fully repairing and insuring leases. The housing provider takes on all landlord responsibilities - no maintenance calls, no tenant management, no hidden costs.


5. Positive Social Impact

Both Catherine and Paul wanted to invest in a way that made a difference. Their properties now house vulnerable people, offering safety, stability, and a path to independence.


The Result


For investors who want to protect a lump sum, secure predictable income, and avoid the headaches of traditional property investment, supported housing can be an effective solution.
