New report on social impact of BTR

The Association for Rental Living’s CEO, Brendan Geraghty, was delighted to attend the launch of the Quality of Life Foundation’s latest report – Assessing the social impact of build-to-rent developments on residents and local communities – last week.  

A very welcome addition to the sector’s discourse, this report strengthens the narrative, and provides additional proof, that build-to-rent offers good quality homes, actively promotes community, and that resident wellbeing is core to BTR culture. It demonstrates that simply providing a home is not enough. It is the relationships that the home, and its occupants, can establish with the people, places, and enterprises around them that delivers improved and sustained wellbeing.

This report clearly shows the positive impact of BTR. The data contained within is highly valuable, especially as the Rental Living sector negotiates to prove its worth to policymakers, planners, and society. We applaud the contributors to this report and encourage all serious Rental Living sector players to support the next generation of this report. Our sector needs this evidence to support our growth and to establish BTR as a serious contributor to housing and investment throughout the UK, today and tomorrow.
