SDA Legal services

NDISDA members boast dedicated teams of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) experts who provide legal services

The development and management of Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), being housing that is specially designed to tend to the needs of people who have extreme functional impairment or very high support needs, is an emerging asset class gathering momentum and interest from developers and institutional investors.

In order to leverage the opportunities that this asset class provides, developers, institutional investors and lenders need to be alive to its distinctive characteristics.

There are key risks ad mitigant considerations in the SDA space, such as

Corporate structuring risks.

The corporate structure for an SDA project is an important consideration, which will have an impact on a number of other key factors, including:

the regulatory requirement that an SDA must be developed by an SDA provider (see “Regulatory Considerations” below);
access to and ownership of existing land and dwellings;
the number of dwellings and sites envisaged;
tax (i.e. having a charitable status brings an additional regulatory layer); and
the financing documentation and at what level in the structure debt will be introduced (i.e. will the structure comprise a portfolio of properties, will the borrower be acting as a trustee of one or more trusts, will a professional trustee be appointed, is the borrower an SPV, does the borrower have subsidiaries etc.).
