Private Rented Sector and Build to Rent

The Private Rented Sector and Build to Rent industry continues to grow and develop at speed, providing a new long-term rental model to the market and partial solution to the UK’s housing shortage.

With a full service approach, we assist institutional, private and public sector funders and developers whether they are entering into or established in this burgeoning market.

We provide start to finish advice from heads of terms, site acquisition and funding, through to practical completion, we also advise on the all-important letting and management stage that is crucial to extract the most value from an investment.

We advise private investors, housing associations, local authorities and registered providers on how best to utilise PRS & Build to Rent as a catalyst for regeneration, to deliver housing and much needed income to help subsidise positive local and non-profit initiatives.

We understand that designing and constructing a desirable development is only half the challenge - operational efficiency and good tenancy management is key to the smooth running of your investment. Our legal support ensures your property is managed efficiently and profitably, helping you realise the full potential of your PRS or Build to Rent scheme.
