Build to Rent can mean long term income streams and premium monthly rent

The Build to Rent (BTR) market is experiencing an upsurge in demand due to the shift towards private renting and the often prohibitive costs of buying a new home. BTR presents a range of challenges for developers, including high upfront investment costs, tight planning restrictions, construction time frames and the need for robust management structures. Despite the challenges, there are several opportunities in this sector, including long-term predictable income streams, high occupancy rates and premium monthly rent. Local authorities also have a unique opportunity to address lack of affordable housing through the BTR model.
