Robert Whiteman CBE, chairman, said: “We are delighted to report rising income, driving a fully covered increased dividend, ahead of schedule. We have built a platform of resilient cash-generative assets and long-term debt which will continue to drive long-term, inflation-linked dividends and capital growth.

“Delivering high quality housing in the UK needs long-term institutional investors like ReSI. The growing institutionalisation of housing makes for more professional landlord-tenant relationships, benefiting tenants and income-seeking investors alike.

“Having our own for-profit Registered Provider, combined with Gresham House’s investment processes and solid partnerships, means we can deliver housing that’s aligned and supported by government policy, backed by robust governance.”
