Joint Equity Investment Partnerships JEIPs - ethical residential property investment

► Joint Equity Investment Partnerships - JEIPs.  


Joint Equity Investment Partnerships (JEIPs) are the ethical way to invest in residential property and are more profitable than Buy to Let.


Owning Buy to Let properties is time consuming and open to abuse from tenants  and agents. Joint Equity offers routes to investment that are simple, transparent, low costs, low risk and well secured.


Joint Equity investments are also ethical because whenever you make money so does your Owner Partner and without your help the Owner Partner would not be able to buy their own home condemned to stay in rented homes for years to come.


We have therefore developed the innovative Joint Equity Investment Partnerships, JEIPs, which are incorporated as Limited Liability Companies or occasionally as Limited Liability Partnerships, (more on LLPs here) depending on circumstances.  


The fundamental thinking is to develop a simple, easy to manage way for Investor Partners to invest their money in ethical Joint Equity properties.


The Ltd companies are Single Purpose Vehicles which can only invest in Joint Equity Properties.


As an investor your involvement is limited as the management of the company is provided for by the Director.


You are provided with management accounts every 6 months and returns are paid quarterly,

► The Direct Investment route into a single property

Direct investment in a single property. We used to offer this as an option where the Investor as an individual invested with the Owner Partner in a property of their choice.  We called it the 1:1 route.


We withdrew this 1:1 option in early 2012 as most investors are looking for less hassle and wider opportunities that can be provided by targeted purchases in different locations.






► Shared home ownership


Joint Equity, the ethical private shared home ownership, is different from the Government’s shared home  ownership, such as HomeBuy, as it is open to everyone and they can buy any home anywhere - just about.

Click here for details on the Government scheme & see why Joint Equity is preferred by  many  as the entry into home ownership.

There are a number of specific advantages when you invest with a JEIP that you do not have as an individual Joint Equity investor. And in fairness there are a couple of drawbacks.

► Benefits

Ethical investment.  Joint Equity is the only ethical way to invest in UK property available today.

More profitable. Investing through Joint Equity through a JEIP you will earn more per £ invested  than any other method. Worked examples Here

Lower risk investment. Instead of owning 50% of one property in one location you can spread the investments around the country and across different property types.

Pick your sector. We have 4 client sectors, First Time Buyers, previous Owners, Divorced and Separated and Retired Renting. You can focus on 1 or 2 or spread your investment across all 4 sectors.

You are not alone. You have your Director to discuss investment options with.

You can be hands off. Any property investment requires a degree of hassle. Of course Joint Equity has much less hassle than any other option anyway but you still need to sign the occasional form. With a JEIP you have a Director who will take on all the day to day management.

Shareholder advantages.  As a Shareholder you can trade your Shares without having to sell the underlying assets and a Joint Equity investment has two investment inflows the Investment Return paid quarterly and the capital growth of the assets. You can pass the Shares to children or have them owned by your SIPP (please check with your advisors that your circumstances permit SIPP ownership)
 
► The Disadvantages

You are removed from day to day management. The Director of the Single Purpose Vehicle carries out all management functions with no requirement for the Investor to be involved.  

Your cash is tied up. Exiting from a JEIP is slower than other forms of investment vehicle. It is not as liquid as other investments but is comparable with other ways of investing in property.
