Housemartin Reviews 53

Investments tick two important boxes: good returns, paid monthly, and a positive social impact.
But add some extra boxes too. How about one for communication? Housemartin are responsive to queries with a monthly plain English newsletter that sets out the pipeline ahead.
Housemartin probably hasn't been my most profitable investment vehicle, but it's hard to beat if you want to balance risk and return and throw in a bit of social benefit.

I have been a user of Housemartin for some years. Over that time I have been consistently impressed by the professionalism of the team, the clarity of the way investments are described, the ease of the website , the "doing good" aspect of the investments and the solid return on investment, I have a broad spread of properties I have invested in , a few have had issues, bit the combined yield has been spot on 7%. This is not a site for short term traders, but is a very useful long-term, interest generating home for cash.

I find Housemartin to be an easy to use platform, responsive support and for once to actually be helping society. A site I will be hoping to increase my investment with

Providing financial backing for supported housing projects all over the country whilst earning a fair return is a win-win. Housemartin provides the channel to diversify loans to this socially worthwhile sector over scores of projects.

It seems a win win scenario as long as the housing market does not crash, and helping good courses at the same time.

I am very concerned about the loss on sales.This has been more than 15%
The cost ofsetting the property for particular use, is unlikely to be recovered on the sale.
There has also been some remedial work required for things that should have been picked up in the initial survey

I became aware of Housemartin as an alternative peer to peer investment opportunity when a previous company announced discontinuation about 5 years ago. I am still unraveling that business and building my business and relationship with Housemartin. This has been an enjoyable period offering me healthy investment returns with involvement in a good cause.

This is a medium to long term investment in in mainly charity properties with rental income monthly giving in excess of 7% on investment amount and propert value increase over the years a good possibility. IFSA available too. Website works well and fairly easy to use. Also monthly income available if required.

Ethical investments for a great cause while providing a fair balance of risk/reward - definitely recommend as part of a diversified portfolio.

I have been an investor with Housemartin for nearly five years now, and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. What impresses me most is how the platform has managed to innovate and grow significantly without ever losing its focus on the user. Despite their expansion, the level of customer care has remained exceptionally high—a rare find in this industry. My investment here is now central to my monthly income, and I couldn't be more confident in the platform's direction.

I've been investing through Housemartin (formerly Assetz Exchange) for nearly four years having been attracted to their balance between social contribution and investment return. So far so good! For balance I invest elsewhere and am also a landlord. The relative returns from Housemartin outstrip those from rentals without the ever-increasing hassles. Also excellent communications from Peter et al, very speedy ISA transfers and informative on-line account pages.

I have been investing with Housemartin for several years. I was impressed in the early days to receive personal phone calls and support to check that I was happy with everything. I find the balance of risk and income a good one and it's also good to be investing in something that has a socially positive impact.

Good return from property without the stress of being a hands on landlord. Only minor issue is the linking of the property value to the lowest selling askers price in the internal market which seems to distort the true open market value. (HPI).

An investment that offers a compelling alternative to traditional buy-to-let property ownership since monthly income can come tax free through an ISA account, risk can be spread over multiple properties and Housemartin deals with day to day management of the properties and compliance with regulations.
I see liquidity as the main risk to consider as exit is only possible if there is demand from other investors to buy your loans at a price you are happy to sell at. It does take a while to fully appreciate how this investment works but testing the platform with a minimal initial amount is possible and probably a good way to find out.

Housemartin is vastly superior to any of the peer to peer websites thsat I have used.Financially rewarding & ethically rewarding with a well structured website backed by really useful guidance throughout.

Very good return on investment, easy to negotiate the website, communication is excellent so anything you don't understand or are not sure of is answered fully and promptly. Investing with Housemartin is win/win - I get a good return and my money is used in a positive way.

I like the way that Housemartin operate. They keep us investors fully informed, they have an effective website and their operation benefits society. I also feel that they are powered by us retail investors and that we are not competing against institutional investors.

Housemartin has a proven record of supplying supported housing across the country. They are very responsive and helpful. Return are very good (7%). It is also good to see my money helping people who need it and support multiple charities.
This is a long term investment stream with an ISA option to save tax. I have been with this company from its initial property trade.

I have been with Housemartin for nearly 5 years, and always found them very professional and detailed in their approach, and disclosures. With good index linked returns based on quality residential property, and solid tenants serving a worthwhile sector. Fully recommend
