Alongside providing our clients with city centre off-plan investments, we are also a social housing developer. This enables us to invest in real estate and produce a positive social impact as a result, helping to house more vulnerable adults across the UK.
Typically, in England, an apartment in a development will only be leasehold, with a lease length from 125 years upwards. We have several great investment opportunities across Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham which are leasehold.
All of our services are completely FREE OF CHARGE! On the sale of our off-Plan units, we make our money directly from the developer, therefore, we are able to give our clients a unique and totally free service. We are 100% client-focused and are here to help you get the best possible property investment deal.
Our properties range from 5%-10% yields depending on the location. City centre properties usually yield less, however, the city centre has a much greater return through capital appreciation. The investment type for you will depend on your short and long term goals!
Check out St. Anne’s Gardens in Liverpool, Three60 in Manchester and Southside Residencies in Birmingham for high city centre yields.
Speak to one of our team today, and we can help identify these goals and align the best property investment for you.

All property sales within the UK must go through a UK solicitor. Your solicitor won’t ask you to pay a deposit unless they have thoroughly checked your sales agreement and are happy with it.
In all developments, the service charge is reviewed in line with market rates; this is standard practice. With that said, rental increases also occur in line with market rates.
Due to our strong track record, we have strong relationships with estate agents, developers and vendors. Therefore, most of our properties are off-market or off-plan properties. This means that we are able to service our clients with off-market investments and off-plan developments that haven’t even been completed yet.

Social Housing is a form of UK property where the government/local authorities support vulnerable groups of people across the country and help them receive high-quality housing. Developers such as AFPI are able to work directly with housing associations, local authorities and charities to understand the demand for specialised housing within certain areas of the UK. The UK is suffering a huge undersupply of social housing which is resulting in more homelessness and a lack of safe and secure homes for the most vulnerable people in society.
AFPI work directly with partners such as local commissioners and housing providers to satisfy their current housing needs and are able to supply high-quality homes to the most vulnerable people in society.
AFPI works closely with authorities and housing associations and creates demand-driven social housing properties. We are committed to investing heavily in long-term & high-quality housing solutions for the most vulnerable in society. Through investing millions of pounds into social housing projects, we are able to generate long-term corporate leases directly with councils, associations and charities with government-funded tenants.
The UK is currently suffering a housing crisis with an undersupply of housing and a rapidly rising demand. On top of the growing demand, vulnerable adults are also desperate for specialised housing to support their wellbeing and quality of life. It is reported that over 4.5 million people across the UK are currently on the waiting list for social housing, with only 6338 homes delivered last year. The growing list of people on the register and the undersupply of housing provides strong demand for these properties.
We work directly with local commissioners and housing providers to satisfy their current housing needs.
Mortgages are available on most of our property investment opportunities. If you need help with getting a mortgage, speak to one of our agents who will be able to help recommend one of our trusted brokers.
In many cases, a new contractor is appointed to finish the build as there is the safety of a legal first charge already in place.
