Community Housing Limited (CHL) is the first Australian community housing organisation to operate nationally and internotionally. A not-for-profit organisation, CHL works with local communities to diliver and manage affordable rental housing. It creates stronger communities by enabling low to middle income earners to live in quality homes with secure tenure.
Not only do you have the benefits of a secure investment, you are also contributing to the community by possibly creating a stepping stone for low to moderate income earners to step into the home owner market.
CHL's portfolio covers a broad range of housing from multi storey city apartments, townhouses, duplexes, villas and single houses.
Our properties are well lovated, brand new and approximately within a 1km radius of schools, shops, transport and medical centres adding value to your investment. Typical inclusions in a CHL property are:
CHL properties are integrated throughout Australia’s city suburbs and rural areas.
The portfolio of properties available for sale will include CHL designed and built properties and those acquired by CHL. The sold propertiesy will need to be leased back to CHL for a period of ten years. During that time CHL will provide a market rental yield at no risk of vacancy along with managing all tenancy and property related issues. At the conclusion of the lease period, investors can continue to rent the property privately, or realise the property’s capital growth over the previous decade by selling.
Investment in these CHL properties is ethical in nature and will raise additional funds that will be used to continue to grow the stock of affordable housing across Australia. This initiative is part of a major push to accelerate the growth of affordable housing over the long term, and will ultimately make up a significant proportion of housing in Australia’s communities. Merging two sectors together (affordable/social and commercial/private) within the housing industry is definitely a step forward in fixing the current shortage of affordable housing in Australia.
Your return is based on market value at commencement less administration fees, then indexed by CPI and periodically adjusted to market values protecting you against inflation except for the Rental Valuation Review Dates.
In years 4 and 7 of the term at CHL’s expense.
CHL sublet the property to tenants who are eligible for affordable housing based on Office of Housing’s eligibility criteria.
All outgoings are paid by you with the exception of water consumption, electricity, gas and telephone charges.
