What is Build to Rent?

Renting. But actually good.

Build to Rent (or BTR if you’re into the whole abbreviation thing) is renting, reimagined. Purpose-built homes designed just for renters - professionally managed, community-focused, with grown-up service and none of the usual landlord lottery.

Think hotel service meets your own private space. No dodgy DIY fixes. No “is the boiler working today?” roulette. Just beautifully designed homes, flexible tenancies and managers who actually answer your emails.

Why Build to Rent exists (and why you might love it)

Let’s be honest, traditional renting has issues. Build to Rent flips the script by:

✅Being built specifically for renters (not accidental landlords).

✅Offering on-site teams to handle maintenance, parcels and the odd late-night panic.

✅Having proper amenities - co-working spaces, gyms, rooftop gardens, even cinemas.

✅Flexible contracts and fair policies - because life happens.

Homes with benefits

Every BTR development is a little different, but here’s what you can generally expect:

🏠Modern apartments designed for comfort (and yes, Instagram).

🐶Pet-friendly policies - because your dog is family too.

🎉Resident events - from wine tastings to yoga, or just pizza and a quiz night.

📅Flexible leasing - from six months to three years, move in on your terms.

👋On-site teams - no chasing landlords, just chat to reception.

Is it more expensive?

Not always. You might pay a little more, but that usually includes:

💸No letting agent fees

🛠️Professional maintenance

🌇Fancy amenities (hello rooftop views)

🧘Genuine peace of mind

Plus, no unexpected repairs or landlords selling up suddenly.
