What is
Built to Rent?
Build to Rent is the residential investment industry's growth sector, which helps restore a balance between supply and demand in housing. BTR developments are new buildings designed for the rental market and treated as long-term assets for institutional investors. Residents benefit from on-site facilities such as co-working spaces, gyms, and resident lounges—all things that would rarely be found in traditional Private Rental Sector developments.

Low Bills Living
Build to Rent developments are gas-free, leading to cheaper utility bills for residents. With Wi-Fi included, BTR becomes even more attractive.
Due to the Part L Regulations (June 2022), all new homes must produce 30% less carbon dioxide emissions, ensuring they are well-insulated. Institutions can lower emissions with energy-efficient appliances, double or triple-glazed windows, and recycling heat from cooking or showering.

No Maintenance Hassle
One of the most appealing aspects of Build to Rent tenancies is minimal maintenance. Most BTR properties are newly constructed and designed for easy maintenance.
Typically, UK BTR developments with over 75 homes have on-site staff, eliminating the frustration of reporting repairs to an agent or inexperienced landlord. Build to Rent offers hotel-style responsiveness.
Since landlords often develop the properties themselves, they are well-versed in the building's construction and can handle issues efficiently. Moreover, BTR properties are built to high-quality standards, resulting in fewer maintenance problems initially.
