Target Yield
Five levers for high-yield returns
Immediate increase to NAV post rennovation
Within 12-18 months, capital deployed on a BuildFund project appreciates in value by 30% post-completion.
Above average capital gains
We chose to invest in districts with significant redevelopment plans, such as towns granted with levelling-up grants. this boosts our capital gains yield above average.
HMOs for working professionals
We redevelop old buildings into residential HMOs. HMOs provide higher than average income yield, often exceeding 8%.
Our sustinable redevelopment creates sell-able carbon credits
Our in-house team is qualified to measure and accredit carbon credit projects. We sell the carbon credits to corporates looking to offset their carbon footprint. This often results in a 10% kick-back on total capital deployed.
Minimal external fees
By managing redevelopment projects in-house, external fees are kept to a minimum. Our GPs are experienced in sourcing, redeveloping, managing, accrediting (carbon credits), and exiting.
We're raising LOIs on a first come, first served basis
We're the UK's first Real Estate Fund generating verified carbon credits and we aim to deliver significant social impact per £ invested. Our focus on impact improves yield for investors whilst improving lives for our future generations.
Helping investors meet their ESG goals
Carbon Reduction: Renovation and retrofitting of historic buildings, significantly reduces the need for new construction and preserves cultural structures. In turn, this fund mitigates the carbon footprint associated with demolition & building materials.
Carbon Credits Verification: We verify and authenticate the carbon reduction output of our projects and produce verified carbon credits. This provides accurate environmental impact for our investors.
Energy Efficiency: Our renovation approach focuses on enhancing energy efficiency through the installation of modern insulation, energy-efficient windows, and sustainable heating and cooling systems.
Affordable Housing: By converting historic buildings into houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), we address the housing shortage and provide affordable living options in urban areas.
Community Revitalization: Our projects breathe new life into historic buildings, preserving cultural heritage while contributing to the revitalisation of neighborhoods.
Job Creation: The redevelopment and retrofitting process creates numerous job opportunities in construction, renovation, and property management, supporting local economies.
Ethical Standards: Our fund adheres to strict ethical standards and governance practices, ensuring that all projects are conducted with integrity and transparency. This includes being an ethical landlord once properties are under management.
Stakeholder Engagement: We actively engage with local communities, stakeholders, and regulatory bodies to ensure our projects meet the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility.
Sustainable Practices: We implement sustainable practices across all stages of our projects, from planning and design to construction and maintenance, ensuring long-term benefits for the environment and society.
