100,000 NEW BUILD TO RENT HOMES

Rapid growth in the Build to Rent sector continues unabated. Over 5,000 homes were completed in the last year, growing stock levels by 30%.

The latest research by Savills and the British Property Federation reveals that there are over 100,000 build to rent units either under construction or in the planning pipeline, 25% more than this time last year.

The split between London and the regions is starting to shift as momentum spreads across the country.While London accounts for more completions than elsewhere, almost three fifths (21,551) of homes currently under construction are outside London.
