More homes more quickly for Scotland.

JLA Living advises on residential investment in Scotland. We exist to help deliver more homes more quickly by connecting housing opportunities with investment, and by aligning the goals of the public and private sectors.

SPEED, SCALE, SIMPLICITY

Our principal focus is residential investment in Scotland's rental housing: family homes for rent, urban Build to Rent, and new models for affordable housing across the scale of need.

We combine residential investment expertise with established knowledge of land, development and housing policy.

JLA Living connects the private sector with the public sector, investors with housebuilders, and land with opportunity.

For investors, that means credible routes into residential investment in Scotland, from single sites to portfolio-scale platforms. For housebuilders and landowners, it means access to long-term rental capital that can bring sites forward sooner. For local authorities and housing associations, it means private investment that works alongside public priorities, not against them.

Based in Edinburgh and working across Scotland, we advise on Build to Rent, Single Family Rental, Mid-Market Rent and Intermediate Rent, and on the funding structures and partnerships that make them work.

Public Sector and Scottish Housing Policy

Scotland’s housing emergency is complex and multifaceted. National government, local authorities, Registered Social Landlords and the private sector all have key roles to play.

The challenges will only be properly addressed with a comprehensive and cohesive plan respecting all housing providers.

We understand those different perspectives and we know how to find alignment.
