Rigorous Vetting Process
Every project undergoes thorough assessment to confirm its development potential.
Only those that meet our exacting standards are presented to our network of housing associations, builders, investors, international buyers, and institutional funds.
Every Project Begins the Same Way
At Housn Capital, every project starts with disciplined assessment and clear commercial judgement. Whether it’s a residential scheme, commercial asset, or mixed-use development, we follow a consistent process focused on understanding the site, the sponsor, the planning position, and the funding requirements from the outset.
With over 30 years’ experience across property, development finance, and investment, our team has developed a strong track record of identifying opportunities with genuine potential and structuring funding solutions that allow those projects to progress efficiently. Our approach is rooted in realism — assessing risk early, understanding constraints, and ensuring that capital structures are aligned with delivery and exit.
Based in the North West and operating nationally, we combine local market insight with access to a broad funding network. This enables us to support developments that are commercially viable, well-positioned for funding, and capable of delivering long-term value for developers, investors, and the communities in which they sit.
Our Unique Advantage.
Housn Capital works in close partnership with experienced developers to identify, assess, and structure development opportunities before they are introduced to our joint venture and private capital partners. Our focus is on quality, readiness, and certainty — not volume.
Every project we present has been rigorously vetted, benefits from planning consent, and is ready to commence development. Crucially, each scheme will already have been reviewed and approved in principle by a tier-one bank or senior development lender, providing independent validation of viability, structure, and deliverability before any equity or JV capital is introduced.
This disciplined approach significantly reduces execution risk and ensures that projects offered to our investment partners are robust, financeable, and aligned with real-world delivery conditions.
Optimising Development Potential
Our expertise lies in assessing and unlocking development value through planning awareness, commercial judgement, and capital structuring. By working with trusted planning consultants, professional teams, and senior lenders, we are able to evaluate opportunities quickly and selectively — focusing only on schemes that meet our strict criteria for risk, return, and deliverability.
We do not promote speculative or early-stage concepts. Instead, we concentrate on projects that are planning-secured, lender-approved, and capable of moving forward immediately, ensuring clarity and confidence for all parties involved.
Our Process.
1. Developer-Led Site Origination
We work with established developers to source development opportunities with strong fundamentals. Sites are assessed on location, planning status, market demand, delivery strategy, and exit assumptions.
2. Commercial & Financial Assessment
Each project undergoes a detailed commercial review, including cost analysis, programme assessment, funding structure, and exit strategy. This ensures the scheme is capable of supporting senior debt and equity participation on realistic assumptions.
3. Planning Secured & Ready to Start
Only sites with the benefit of planning consent and a clear route to commencement are progressed. This removes planning uncertainty and significantly de-risks execution.
4. Senior Lender Review & Approval
Before any opportunity is presented to JV or equity partners, the project is submitted to a tier-one bank or senior development lender. Indicative approval for development finance provides independent third-party validation of the scheme’s viability.
5. Rigorous Vetting
We assess sponsor capability, professional team strength, construction strategy, cost certainty, and exit robustness. Only projects that meet our internal standards are approved for capital introduction.
6. Structuring the Capital Stack
Once senior debt is agreed in principle, we structure the remaining capital requirement — whether through joint venture equity, preferred equity, or private capital — ensuring alignment between all stakeholders.
7. Legal Structuring & Exclusivity
Appropriate legal documentation is put in place between landowners, developers, lenders, and capital partners to ensure clarity, security, and alignment prior to funding.
8. Introduced to Joint Venture & Investment Partners
Only at this stage are opportunities introduced to our joint venture and investment partners. At this point, projects are planning-ready, finance-approved, and execution-focused.
Investment Opportunity >
Fund & Develop With Us >
Invest alongside experienced developers and tier-one lenders in fully vetted development opportunities.
The Fund & Develop With Us programme is designed for investors and joint venture partners seeking exposure to property development opportunities without the need to source, structure, or manage projects independently.
Through Housn Capital, investors gain access to pre-vetted, planning-approved developments that have already been reviewed and approved in principle by tier-one banks or senior development lenders. This ensures that opportunities are independently validated for viability, structure, and deliverability before being introduced to our capital partners.
We work closely with experienced developers to assess each project in detail — from planning status and cost assumptions to funding structure and exit strategy — ensuring that only opportunities meeting our strict criteria are presented. Our role is to reduce uncertainty, provide clarity, and align capital with projects that are ready to move forward.
