We build affordable housing, supported living, care facilities and social housing that the UK desperately needs — and structure them as investments that deliver strong, consistent returns that are transformative for people's lives.
Right now, hundreds of thousands of people with learning disabilities, long-term illnesses, and complex care needs are waiting for a proper homes or temporary accommodation. A real, safe, well-designed place to live with the right support around them.
NHS hospitals can't discharge patients because there's nowhere for them to go. Local councils are desperate for housing. Care providers can't find compliant properties. The gap between what's needed and what exists is growing — and it's a gap that private investment, done thoughtfully, can help close.
We identified that gap. We built a model around it. And it works.
Cornwick finds, funds, develops, and manages properties designed specifically for supported living, specialist care, and social housing — sectors with massive, proven, government-backed demand. We partner with CQC-registered care providers and housing associations before we buy, so every property has a confirmed operator from day one.
The result: long-term commercial leases (10+ years), government-funded rental income, and stable returns that aren't subject to the volatility of the residential property market.
Explore the investment model →Before we look at a single building, we ask: who needs to live here, and what does their life need to look like? That question shapes the spec, the location, the layout, and the lease.
It's why our projects run at full occupancy and why our care provider partners stay long-term — because we build what they actually want to operate.

Strong, predictable returns backed by property assets and long-term care contracts. Government-funded income streams. Asset-backed security. Fully hands-free management. ESG-aligned growth that maps to the SDGs and stands up to due diligence.
A real, well-designed home — built around dignity, independence, and the specific support each person needs. Somewhere they can genuinely belong, not an after thought, but feel 'taken-care' of.
Every project eases pressure on the NHS and local authorities. Projects use local trades and professionals feeding local economy and creates infrastructure that serves the community for decades. Your capital doesn't just sit in a property — it helps all involved.
"We started with a simple belief — that the right investment in the right property can genuinely change someone's life. As well as create stable and consistent returns on your money... That's the whole idea."
— Cornwick Directors
Neil unpacks what “supportive care” really means, and why Norfolk — home to one of the highest elderly populations in the country — is facing a quiet housing crisis. He talks through the numbers, the carers stretched thin holding it together, and why Cornwick is building CQC-compliant, patient-first housing to meet the need.
Cornwick is built for investors who want both. Our model is designed so performance and purpose reinforce each other — high social demand means strong, stable occupancy; long-term care contracts mean predictable income; purpose-built properties with committed operators mean lower structural risk.
If you're a business owner looking to deploy capital meaningfully, a family building a legacy, or an investor who wants their portfolio to do something that actually matters — the next step is simply a conversation.
No — property investment of this kind is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. It’s what’s known in the industry as a non-regulated investment. That means you won’t have access to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme or the Financial Ombudsman Service if something goes wrong. We’re upfront about this because we’d rather you go in with full information than a false sense of protection. We’d always recommend seeking independent financial advice before committing any funds.
This kind of property funding isn’t liquid by nature, and we don’t pretend otherwise. Typical terms run 1–5 years, with a planned exit strategy — usually a refinance or sale — agreed before your money is deployed, not worked out afterwards. Early exit isn’t something we can guarantee, so this suits funds you can comfortably commit for the term.
This is exactly what our operator vetting process is built to prevent — we only lease to CQC-registered, financially stable operators with a track record, on full repairing and insuring (FRI) lease terms, and every lease is signed before your capital is deployed. If an operator relationship did end, the property itself remains the security — a real, compliant asset in a location with proven demand that we’d work to re-let to another vetted operator.
Yes — before we send detailed materials, we ask you to self-certify as one of: a High Net Worth Individual, a Self-Certified Sophisticated Investor, or a Restricted Investor. This is a standard step for opportunities like ours, and you’ll find the exact criteria for each on our contact page — it only takes a minute to check which one applies to you.
Typically from £25,000 upwards — but we treat every investor as an individual, so the right figure depends on the project and your circumstances. We work through it with you on a case-by-case basis. Get in touch and we’ll talk through what fits.
