Housing Supply Bonds
The Housing Supply Bond is a concept for supporting UK-based production of construction materials needed for mass social and affordable housing. It imagines a way for investors to help fund new or expanded factories in return for long-term, contract-based supply and stable returns.
Supporting UK Manufacturing
- Bricks and blocks
- Timber frames and structural elements
- Windows, doors, and roofing components
- Insulation, plasterboard and internal fit-out
- Standardised kitchens, bathrooms and furniture
How a Supply Bond Could Work (Concept)
Under the DOVY idea, long-term investors could buy bonds linked to factory capacity. In return, factories commit to supplying materials to national housebuilding programmes at agreed volumes and prices, giving both sides more certainty.
Potential Benefits
- More secure supply chains for housing construction
- Reduced dependence on imported materials
- Support for UK jobs in manufacturing and logistics
- Predictable, long-term investment returns linked to real production
Housing Supply Bonds described here are a prototype idea only. No securities or investments are currently being offered.
How Housing Supply Supports Homes
The DOVY concept connects Housing Supply Bonds with large-scale social housing and affordable housing, along with regulated, long-term property investment to support UK construction and economic growth.
