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.

 

The traditional way to invest with Joint Equity is to become an Investor Partner, more, and join an Owner Partner to buy their home as Co-owners.

 

This suits many of our Investor Partners, but we have a large number of Investor Partners who want to invest in Joint Equity properties but want to be more “hands off”.

 

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

 

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

 

JEIPs are formed by a Sponsor who takes on the responsibility for finding the JEIP Partners and incorporating the LLP.  Incorporation is not onerous and we have developed a simple process.

 

JEIPs must have at least 2 Partners but there is no upper limit and the JEIP uses our Partners Agreement to protect each Partner and the lenders.

 

The Sponsor may be a Partner, but it is not essential, and we have a number of registered professional and experienced Sponsors who will help you get your JEIP started or will add you to their existing JEIPs.

 

The JEIP is managed by a Managing Partner who does have to be a Partner but there is no restrictions on their shareholding. So the Managing Partner maybe the majority shareholder or could own as little as 5%.

► 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.

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, as an individual or through a JEIP you will earn more per £ invested  than any other method.

Lower risk investment. Instead of owning 50% of one property in one location if you have 5 equal partners, for example, you own 1/6 of 6 properties. That means 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 Partners to discuss investment options with.

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

Investing can be fun. There can be a social aspect to a JEIP as well as just profits. The JEIP may meet regularly to discuss investments and that can involve dinner as some of our JEIPs already do.

► The disadvantages

You have Partners. They may not always want to do exactly what you want to do, so compromise is often necessary. The JEIP Partners Agreement sets out what happens if you disagree with other Partners.

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. The JEIP Partners Agreement sets out how you can exit.
