Housing with Care
Our specialist team of solicitors provide legal support for those within the housing sector where care is provided. This includes all types of supported living housing and specialised supported housing.
Working together to achieve the best outcome
Supported living and specialist supported housing (or ‘SSH’) is a type of social housing provided to vulnerable adults with special needs, including learning and physical disabilities, mental health problems, drug and alcohol addictions and those at risk of homelessness. SSH enables tenants to live independently within the community, while receiving a level of care which is similar to that provided in a care home.
The SSH sector has become a widely recognised investment class within a relatively short space of time and our team of experts have been front and centre of this space since its induction having advised on hundreds of schemes with values of up to £100m.
Who we work with
There are various requirements in order to qualify as SSH and our Real Estate Healthcare team work regularly with registered providers, housing providers, developers, investors, care providers and consultants.
We are experts in this heavily-regulated area, advising clients on development projects, both single property and portfolio acquisitions, and disposals and commercial lease arrangements – including service level agreements – of properties within the supported living space.
Our team also work with developers, investors and housing providers who ensure the homeless community and to those who require temporary and emergency accommodation are cared for.
Our experience
Our clients benefit from our wealth of experience in real estate and healthcare and from the diverse collective expertise of our wider team. As part of a full-service law firm, we provide legal support across the corporate and commercial, governance and regulatory, planning, construction and property litigation fields, along with employment and immigration advice.
Our experience means we know the relationship between the parties in a transaction – and how they can work together to achieve the best outcome. Our extensive knowledge of the market means we anticipate your needs and work quickly; making your transaction low-risk and swift.
