Top 10 Build to Rent projects to work on in 2021

According to Savills 鈥淨3 2020 saw a record 拢1.84 billion invested in UK Build to Rent, as strong occupancy and rental collection underscored the attraction of the sector.鈥�

And the long-term appeal of the Build to Rent market has allowed the sector to remain strong during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was not affected by the construction downturn or economic climate in the way that other residential and commercial sectors were.

Not only is this good for investors, it鈥檚 good news for firms working in the sector too as it鈥檚 less likely to be affected by economic uncertainties affecting other sectors due to the downturn.

And, perhaps surprisingly, investment spans the whole country with more than 60% of Build to Rent homes on large schemes due to be built outside of London.
