WHERE CARE MEETS PROPERTY
Most organisations understand either care or property. We bring it all together.
Health Property Partners is a North West of England developer of Specialist Supported Housing, bringing care and property expertise together to develop and lease homes for adults with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs and acquired brain injuries.
ONE DELIVERY MODEL
From opportunity to stewardship.
Health Property Partners (HPP) works with investors and family offices to develop Specialist Supported Housing.
Assess & secure
We assess the site feasibility for development, check local need and secure Commissioner support.
Coordinate
We coordinate the Care Provider, the Registered Provider and the site acquisition.
Develop & deliver
We manage design, planning and development, through to completing the lease with the Registered Provider.
Hold & steward
We provide long-term asset management, so ownership is hands-off for our investment partners and the scheme performs over the long term.

WHY THIS MODEL MATTERS
Demand is structural. Supply is not keeping up.
The UK supported living market is defined by long-term undersupply and growing commissioner demand, and that is what makes well-structured schemes resilient.
Key drivers
- Only 23 to 25% of eligible people live in supported housing
- 27,000 to 34,500 new homes needed in England by 2037
- Strong North West demand as family carers age
- A clear shift to “own front door” homes
The financial case
- Long-term savings for councils and the NHS
- The North West is a leading growth region
