Why the UK regions
Where the country makes, moves and lives.
We focus on under-managed and mispriced property outside central London, in places where constrained supply meets rising demand. More than half of our investments are sourced off-market, and we add value through planning, development and hands-on asset management.

How investing works
Four steps, no surprises.
Check you’re eligible
A two-minute online check confirms our investments are open to you.
Talk to our team
A call with investor relations or business development, with no obligation.
Read the Information Memorandum
Full terms, fees and risks, plus a formal investor classification before you commit.
Invest and stay informed
Quarterly statements, twice-yearly reports and webinars for the life of the fund.
A defined term, managed to an exit plan.
Our vehicles are closed-ended. Your money is invested for a set period, around three years for each residential package and six years for Growth Fund VI, and returned as assets are sold or refinanced. There is no market to sell your stake early, so only invest money you won’t need during the term.
For housebuilders
Building 3 to 20 homes? We’ll fund the equity.
Through the Barwood New Home Partnership we back experienced SME housebuilders with 100% of the equity, so you can start on site and stretch your own capital further. We started as developers ourselves, so we know what a scheme needs.
- A quick response, decision and indicative terms
- Straightforward due diligence and legal process
- Joint venture or profit share, aligned with yours
- Help arranging senior debt with leading lenders
- Sites with planning, outside central London
Who can invest with Barwood?
Our investments are only for professional investors and for individuals who qualify under FCA rules as certified high-net-worth, certified sophisticated or self-certified sophisticated investors, or as elective professional clients. You’ll complete a full classification with us before investing.
What is the minimum investment?
The Residential Investment Platform starts at £100,000. Commercial investments start at £200,000, for example through the high-net-worth feeder for the Urban Industrial Income LP. Growth Fund VI minimums are confirmed on request.
How long is my money committed?
Each vehicle has a defined term: around three years for each residential package and six years for Growth Fund VI. There is no market to sell your stake early, so only invest money you won’t need during the term.
Does Barwood invest its own money?
Yes. Barwood is 100% owner-managed and invests in every vehicle it runs, so we win when our investors do.
How will I hear how my investment is doing?
You’ll receive quarterly financial statements and a detailed investor report twice a year, and we hold webinars on each fund. You can also speak directly to the people managing your money.
Is Barwood regulated?
Barwood Capital Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, firm reference number 517641. The funds themselves are unregulated collective investment schemes, which is why they’re restricted to qualifying investors.
Can I invest through a SIPP or SSAS?
Some investors hold Barwood investments through a self-invested pension. Ask our team which current vehicles can accept pension money, and speak to your pension provider and adviser.
I’m a housebuilder. How does your funding work?
Through the Barwood New Home Partnership we provide 100% of the equity for sites with planning for three to 20 homes outside central London, through a joint venture or profit share, and we can help arrange senior debt.
