As we enter the second quarter of 2025, we’re pleased to share some exciting progress across the Aura Ventures portfolio. From planning breakthroughs and project launches to strategic acquisitions and sales activity, April has marked a month of high energy and forward movement.
We remain fully focused on our commitment to building high-quality, community-centred homes while creating strong returns for our investment partners. With our "40-for-40" mission well underway (scroll down for the latest figures), there’s never been a better time to be part of the journey.

Investment Opportunities
New Portfolio Acquisition: Sussex
We’ve secured an option to purchase a portfolio of 20+ properties in Sussex, combining excellent cashflow potential with opportunities for refurbishment and resale.
Some units will be retained for rental income, while others will be strategically flipped for capital growth.
📌 Funding Required: This project will need a modest level of external funding, and monthly returns are expected to be paid from portfolio cashflow.
Bognor Regis: Supported Living Projects (x2)
Wigan: Tudor House Hotel
Existing Project Update
Recently Completed Projects
Portsmouth: London Road
This high-quality co-living scheme is on track for completion in mid-May, with lettings to begin in June. We’re thrilled with how this project has come together and can’t wait to share final photos soon.
Final project update coming soon...
Kent, Sittingbourne: Albany Road (HMO #1)
No Longer Progressing
Brighton Flip #2
Despite being ready to exchange, this project was gazumped at the last minute. While frustrating, we’ve responded quickly and redirected resources to other promising opportunities.
Strategic Progress – 40-for-40 Goal
We’re proud to share that we’re over halfway to our 2025 target of securing 40 units across our portfolio.
Over 50% of units have already been agreed.
Once planning is granted on our supported living schemes, we’ll add another 12 units, putting us on track to exceed our goal.
