Investor FAQs

The questions we get asked most.

Where an answer depends on a structure we have not yet confirmed, it says so. A confident wrong answer here would be a regulatory problem, not just an inaccuracy.

Capital is at risk. Property values and rental income can fall as well as rise. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. Nothing on this website constitutes financial or investment advice, and it is not an offer or invitation to invest. Read the full investment disclaimer.

01

About the company

Who are Greenish?
Greenish Property Investment Ltd is a UK-based property investment and development company. We acquire underperforming residential and selected commercial property — typically with a poor EPC rating — and refurbish it to a high-efficiency standard before holding or selling it. The energy uplift is the value creation, not a by-product of it.
How long have you been operating?
We are at an early stage of operation and do not yet have a portfolio of completed projects. We would rather tell you that plainly than imply a track record we have not built. Case studies will be published on this site as acquisitions are completed.
Who runs the business?
Greenish is currently founder-led, with academic expertise in housing development and international real estate investment behind it. As we grow we will build a multidisciplinary team of property professionals, surveyors, architects, contractors, project managers, financial advisers and property managers around that.
Where do you operate?
Initially across England, with a primary focus on Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Manchester and London. This footprint will expand as the business grows.
Who are your professional advisers?
Our solicitors, accountants and insurers are named on request, and we would encourage anyone considering working with us to verify each of them independently.

About the investment

What returns do you offer?
We publish no target returns, yields or projections on this website. Our investment model is still developing, and a number published today would be a forecast dressed up as a fact. Speak to us directly and we will set out exactly what is available, what it involves, and what could go wrong.
What structures do you offer?
The regulatory treatment of each possible structure differs materially, so we would rather describe none of them imprecisely on a public page. Get in touch and we will set out what is genuinely available.
What is the minimum?
Not published on this site, for the same reason as the above. It is one of the first things we will cover in a conversation.
What is the typical term?
Terms follow the project — a single refurbishment and sale is a materially shorter commitment than a long-term hold. Any specific term is set out per opportunity, in writing.
How is my investment secured?
Security arrangements differ by structure and are set out in the documentation for each opportunity rather than summarised here.
What are the fees, and who pays them?
Fees are set out in full in the documentation for each opportunity. You should expect to see the fee schedule before you commit to anything — and to walk away if it is not offered.
Can I invest through a company, SIPP or SSAS?
This depends on the structure and on your own pension provider's rules. It is a question for your adviser as much as for us, and we would encourage you to ask both.

About the risk

Is my capital at risk?
Yes. Property investment carries risk, including the loss of capital. Property values and rental income can fall as well as rise, and past performance is not a guide to future performance. Nothing on this website is financial or investment advice.
Does it matter that you are early stage?
Yes, and you should weigh it. A business without completed projects behind it carries more delivery risk than one with a long record, and no amount of methodology on a website changes that. It is why we publish no track record claims and why we would encourage you to take independent advice.
What happens if a project overruns?
Construction work overruns sometimes, and refurbishment of older properties can uncover conditions a survey did not. You would be told promptly, with the reason and the revised position — a delay reported late is a much larger problem than a delay. How overruns are handled contractually is set out in the documentation for each opportunity.
What if the property does not sell?
A property that will not sell at the target price can usually be let instead, which changes the timeline rather than the outcome. How that decision is made and who makes it is set out per opportunity.
What if a tenant defaults?
Void and arrears risk is real and is factored into every appraisal. Efficient homes tend to have lower voids and better retention, but that reduces the risk rather than removing it.
What happens if Greenish ceases trading?
This depends entirely on the structure and the security position. It is a question you should ask us directly, and ask your own adviser about as well.

About the properties

How do you choose them?
Every property is assessed against six tests: location, capital growth potential, rental demand, refurbishment requirement, EPC improvement potential and financial viability. If the refurbishment does not work financially, the deal does not proceed.
What types of property do you buy?
Residential houses, flats and apartments, HMOs where appropriate, buy-to-let stock, mixed-use property, and selected commercial property with redevelopment or investment potential.
What does a refurbishment actually involve?
Fabric first: loft, wall and floor insulation, glazing and airtightness, then improved ventilation, then heating upgrades and smart controls sized to the reduced demand. Renewable technologies only where the property genuinely justifies them.
How do you verify the energy improvement?
A pre-works assessment establishes the baseline and a post-works reassessment establishes the result, giving a like-for-like comparison on band, SAP score, modelled demand and modelled emissions.
Can I visit a project?
Yes. Site visits are welcome and, for anyone seriously considering investing, encouraged — a refurbishment is much easier to understand standing in one.
