Eco property investment is the name of the game for carbon-conscious Fruitful Homes. The unique marketplace is the first of its kind, allowing anyone to directly invest in their green property developments – with a mission to make beautiful, sustainable homes that are affordable for everyone.
The platform, which launched in February, has already created a huge buzz in both the investment and of course eco marketplaces, so is certain to transform the way people invest and the way they live, too.
Luke Barnes, CEO at Fruitful Homes, said, “How to tackle climate change and reduce carbon footprints has been on everyone’s lips over the last couple of years, and there’s no doubt that green and sustainable housing can play a large part in it. However, that’s just one half of the story.
“The housing crisis has been well-documented over the last two years, and it’s no secret that the government is likely to miss build targets by 2020. Although there are a number of factors to take into account, it’s important to note that established developers build houses with one thing in mind – profit – rather than trying to find a solution to help solve the housing crisis. However, Fruitful Homes have a different approach. We enable investors to back our projects and make high returns, thus allowing us to undertake larger scale developments using our modular construction method. Consequently, this allows us to build sustainable homes more cost-effectively, making it easier for people to get onto the property ladder.”
So, what makes Fruitful attractive to investors? Well investors are able to earn high returns from the offset. No long, complex contracts and no upfront costs in sight at Fruitful. The company prides itself on being completely transparent, all while being committed to only making money once the investors do. The company takes a minority 25 percent cut from any profits – once the homes have been sold – and then passes on the majority 75 percent share to the investor. Not only does this keep things simple, but it also allows investors to receive an estimated return of 30 percent per year after fees.
On top of this, the marketplace is also committed to not alienating people who want to make a difference. Conscious investors or those who may be new to the idea, can invest as little as £1,000 in a single project and watch their money grow form there.
