Supported Living Gateway

What Supported Living Gateway does

Supported Living Gateway Ltd is a private UK company founded in 2020 and registered in England and Wales (Company No. 12678483) that operates a members-only property portal and training business connecting property investors with supported living providers. The platform functions as a vertical marketplace — effectively a 'Rightmove-style' portal restricted to the supported living sector — where landlords list residential properties and care providers, charities, registered providers and community interest companies search for accommodation to lease. Core platform features include a property listing portal, a Buy to Order service that lets providers specify requirements for investors to source, a Demand Map visualisation of provider locations, and a Document Bank containing lease templates, deal analyser spreadsheets and due diligence checklists.

The company's commercial model is multi-stream and built around tiered subscriptions, transaction fees, training and ancillary professional services. Property investors pay monthly subscriptions at three tiers (Basic £15, Pro £35, VIP £75), with VIP bundling the Discover Supported Living course and Strategy Course; supported living providers pay an annual membership of £120 inc. VAT. A one-off lease arrangement fee equivalent to one month's rent + VAT is charged on successful lease signings, and the company sells a 9-module Supported Living Strategy Course (£695 members / £1,395 non-members), a Discover Supported Living course, and provider training (£299 / £399). One-to-one consultancy, Area Appraisal market reports, networking events, expert interview archives, and a curated partner directory of specialist mortgage brokers, insurers, architects, planners and legal firms complement the core offering.

The company is led by four co-founders — Mark Bowen (30 years in finance turned property developer), Russ Crabtree (30+ years in construction with BTL, SA and supported living portfolios), Leah Bowen (20 years in City financial services), and Rich Liddle (former military officer turned non-executive director) — supported by a viewings coordinator and a business administrator. The team reports 70 years of combined property investing experience, an own-portfolio of 56 supported living units, and a combined portfolio value over £8 million. The business operates domestically across England and Wales via self-service digital channels, networking events in North West, London and Midlands regions, and inside-sales-style consultancy for higher tiers; no institutional funding has been disclosed.

Direct peers

• OpenBrix: UK property investment marketplace connecting individual investors with institutional-style rental and supported living deals. Operates a similar two-sided model targeting SMB property investors and is the closest UK proptech peer in the supported living/property investment segment.
• Yieldit: UK online investment platform focused on build-to-rent and supported living property opportunities for individual investors. Shares the supported living focus and SMB investor target market with Supported Living Gateway.

Others

• Hometrack: UK residential property data and analytics business. Comparable as a property data/insights provider in the UK housing market, and adjacent to the 'area appraisal' research services that Supported Living Gateway offers its investor members.
• Lifeways: Large UK supported living and residential care provider. Represents a major potential customer/lease-counterparty for Supported Living Gateway and useful for understanding the buyer side of the supported living housing market.
• Aspire Supported Living: UK supported living service provider operating in the same end market. Represents a potential customer segment rather than a direct competitor; useful as a benchmark for the size and structure of the supported living provider landscape.

Broad incumbents

• Rightmove: UK's largest property portal. The benchmark 'Rightmove-style' experience that Supported Living Gateway explicitly mirrors; represents the generalist incumbent that the niche platform is positioned against.
• OnTheMarket: UK property portal competing with Rightmove and Zoopla. Relevant peer for any UK property marketplace targeting individual landlords and investors, though not a supported living specialist.
• Purplebricks: Online estate agency with a national UK brand. While it focuses on residential sales and lettings, its hybrid model and SMB property audience overlap with Supported Living Gateway's investor base.
• Zoopla: Major UK property portal combining listings, valuations, and agent tools. Comparable as a broad property marketplace reaching investors and landlords, though without sector-specific supported living specialization.

Emerging players

• Property Partner: UK fractional property investment platform. Comparable in serving individual property investors with online tools and education, though its focus is broader residential rather than supported living specifically.
