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.

These landlords are expert investors focused on maintaining the asset value by addressing repair requests quickly and efficiently. Their goal is to create a happy environment where residents want to stay longer.

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.

Green Credentials

Environmental considerations are a priority for institutional landlords in Build to Rent. Unlike Buy-to-Let properties, institutional investors must achieve high green credentials to secure funding.

The green agenda of younger renters aligns with institutional landlords, both aiming for a low carbon footprint.
Build to Rent
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.

For both lettings and sales, the guidance addresses additional terms:

New On The Market: This term is used for a property not advertised since its last sale or rental. It should only be used for a brief period.
