About Park Square
Located in Hartlepool, Northeast England, Park Square is a strategic passive income investment in an area with growing demand for quality social housing.
The property was previously owned by local social housing providers but had been sitting vacant for some time before Yield Investing identified its potential as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), where more than one household shares amenities like a kitchen or bathroom.
Property Features
- 5 Ensuite Bedrooms – Each room provides private, self-contained living with an ensuite bathroom and a personal kitchenette
- Communal Kitchen – Large shared space serving as the social heart of the property
- Dedicated Office – One bedroom repurposed to provide on-site administrative support for the housing provider
- Complete Renovation – Full electrical rewiring, new central heating system, and safety features
- Premium Finishes – Modern fixtures, durable surfaces, and energy-efficient appliances throughout
Property Investment Opportunity
We secured £160,000 to buy the Park Square property and fund its renovation. This gives us the capital needed to transform empty properties into quality social housing while paying our investor solid returns.
Investment Structure
- Investment Funds: £160,000
- Investment Term: Short-term agreement of 6-12 months
- Return Rate: 12% annual return (1% monthly)
- Security: First charge on the property for property investor protection
The renovation is focusing on creating safe, comfortable, low-maintenance living spaces that meet or exceed HMO licensing requirements. Every bedroom has been thoughtfully designed to promote independence and dignity, with efficient layouts that maximise available spaces.
Meeting social housing quality standards is integrated into every aspect of the development, with fire doors throughout and an integrated smoke alarm system to meet HMO requirements. This attention to detail and quality ensures the property delivers a sustainable living environment for residents while minimising future maintenance issues that could impact investment returns.
Once the renovation is complete and a lease is in place, the property will be sold or refinanced based on its new, higher property value. At the end of the investment term, initial investment funds are returned.
Total ROI
- Initial investment returned: £160,000
- Interest earned (12 months): £19,200
- Total return: £179,200
Projected ROI Timeline
Investment & Renovations (0-12 months)
For the capital partner, the investment begins with £160,000 placed under a first-charge security arrangement. This delivers a consistent 12% annual return paid monthly (£1,600 per month), with the principal fully protected by a legal charge over the property. This phase lasts 6-12 months while renovations are completed and the lease agreement is secured.
Return on Investment (12 months)
At approximately the 12-month mark, with renovations complete and the lease in place, the property’s commercial value is projected to increase to £250,000-£280,000. After the sale or refinancing of the property, the original £160,000 investment is returned.
