As Northern Social Housing has an existing relationship with the social housing providers, this process is seamless and quick, ensuring there is no delay in your investment.

In addition to offering superior rates, Northern Social Housing provides unparalleled market experience in this sector, outstanding customer service, and better rental rates compared to individual investors.

Your first payment will be made a maximum of 90 days from the date stated in the joint venture agreement.
