Oakmount & Partners Ltd managing director Glenn King spoke with Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion to discuss the company’s forthcoming £500 million listed bond, a major initiative designed to help meet the UK’s rapidly growing need for social housing and care home infrastructure.

King explained that the bond was originally structured as a US$350 million instrument, but following extensive market assessment and increased sector demand, Oakmount restructured the vehicle into sterling and expanded its size.

“We’ve increased the bond to £500 million GBP, dedicated exclusively to social housing and care homes, areas where demand is rising sharply and the supply gap continues to widen across the UK,” he said.

A key feature of the bond is its 6% fixed coupon, supported by government-backed rental income and subsidy mechanisms, providing a resilient and predictable income stream. King also highlighted that investors will benefit from a profit-sharing mechanism, offering the potential for enhanced returns over the long term.

Interest in the programme has been strong, with King noting that Oakmount is being presented with new acquisition and development opportunities almost daily. The company is now progressing through the final compliance, audit, and governance steps ahead of the bond’s formal launch.

During the interview, King outlined Oakmount’s existing four-pronged property strategy, which spans:
* UK park home communities
* Social housing acquisitions
* Care home developments and refurbishments
* New build development projects in the UK and refurbishments in Dubai

This diversified approach underpins the long-term stability and growth prospects of the company’s property division.

Looking ahead, King reaffirmed Oakmount’s long-term expansion strategy, including plans for a future public listing, which remains firmly on track. The company is targeting a valuation milestone of £100 million within the next five years, with a potential listing expected within 18 to 24 months, subject to market conditions.

“Our vision remains centred on building a stable, scalable, and socially impactful portfolio that delivers value for investors while addressing critical needs across the UK housing landscape,” King added.
