ARL launches new rental living specific Market Directory to drive better BTR business

The Association for Rental Living has today launched a brand new rental living-specific Market Directory.

The ARL Market Directory, a core pillar of activity for the organisation in 2026, has been designed to improve supplier discoverability across the rental living ecosystem, enable direct connection with investors, operators and purchasers, and ultimately, drive better BTR business.

Publicly available on the ARL website, the ARL Market Directory is accessible to over 5,000 contacts across the association’s 300+ corporate members, and to any other business in the rental living sector, both in the UK and internationally.

Categorised and searchable by service offering, location and membership type, the ARL Market Directory standard listing offers supplier, advisor and agent members the perfect platform to promote their rental living products and services – and all included as part of the ARL membership in line with the association’s ethos that members get more.

The ARL Market Directory launches with more than 140 rental living suppliers, advisors, and agents listed across categories from Agents & Property Management through to White Goods Suppliers. It will continue to develop with additional functionality and member benefits actively being explored, including enhanced supplier profiles, featured listing opportunities, improved automation and  lead generation tools. The ARL will continue to review potential developments as the Market Directory evolves and welcomes feedback and suggestions from the membership.

Brendan Geraghty, CEO, Association for Rental Living, comments: “Unlocking opportunity and creating an ecosystem where business thrives by connecting people, ideas, and investment, is a core value of our manifesto and we are delighted to be delivering upon that with the new Market Directory. A comprehensive resource, the Market Directory makes it easy and effortless for the rental living community to discover and connect with one another and ultimately, enables better BTR business.

“Thanks go to all those who have contributed to delivering this highly useful tool, especially the ARL Supplier Committee and the ARL’s Gold Corporate Partner and Facilities Management Partner, Nirvana Group, for their support.”

Darren Waitson, Founder and CEO of Nirvana Group and ARL Board Member, comments: “The Market Directory is an incredibly important project. It maximises member visibility and delivers a platform for commercial connection; all members, and the wider rental living sector, should take advantage of the platform and the benefits it offers. The Directory is also an outstanding platform for showcasing the exceptional talent, expertise and businesses specialising in the BTR sector, highlighting the organisations and individuals helping to shape and drive the industry forward.”
