Build to Rent

Build to Rent (BTR) properties are homes that are built specifically to be let out to tenants. They allow residents to occupy a space that suits modern living, often with additional amenities such as shared workspaces, communal and social areas, on-site gyms and concierge services. They offer tenants a sense of community in a purpose-built setting, providing an elevated living experience for those who rent.

The sector has seen a huge influx of new developments across the UK in recent years, marking a significant shift in tenants’ attitudes towards their homes as a more long-term, secure option than traditional buy-to-let.
