Addressing the rental market crises with an exciting alternative

The relentless surge in housing demand, private landlords leaving the market and the subsequent spike in rental prices have all posed significant challenges to renters.

A survey carried out recently by the campaign group Generation Rent found that 21 per cent of tenants in England had been drawn into bidding wars and 22 per cent had to provide a CV or photo to secure a tenancy.

According to the industry body ARLA Propertymark, this may be because the number of private rented properties is not keeping pace with rising demand. For every property to let, there are 13 renters trying to secure it.

But there is a solution, which is why many people are choosing to rent as a lifestyle option. Through Build to Rent, people are experiencing a new way of living, with community, exceptional facilities and excellent customer service at the heart of its ethos.

Build to Rent has gained popularity as it addresses the changing housing needs and preferences of many individuals, particularly those who value the convenience, amenities and flexibility offered by the sector.

Built to high standards with modern amenities and features that cater to the needs of their customers, Build to Rent offers predictable costs, professional management, focus on customer satisfaction, modern design and technology, flexible tenancies and creating a strong community focus.

Educating people to understand more what Build to Rent can offer them is the mission of Love to Rent, a platform that was established to raise awareness of the sector and the very real differences that it offers compared to the private rental market along with providing a website that only markets build to rent homes, therefore giving customers 100% confidence.

In support of this, the third Love to Rent Week has been announced, following the increasing interest in Build to Rent. The week will be taking place on 25th-29th September with the aim to raise customer awareness about the many benefits of Build to Rent. This includes understanding that Build to Rent is managed by professional landlords, meaning that difficulties and challenges are mostly avoided.

There are a whole host of practical benefits such as flexible tenancies, professional property management and maintenance, security or CCTV and predictable rents. The wide choice of availability across the UK enables everyone from young professionals through to families and downsizers the chance to experience the advantages.

Regardless of the state of the private rental market, for many people, renting through Build to Rent is a lifestyle choice, thanks to the huge array of amenities and additional extras that the sector offers.

“Build to Rent is a lifestyle choice for many and offers a stylish, convenient and flexible living option with a huge number of benefits,” explains Love to Rent Founder Anne-Marie Brown. “Community is an essential aspect of Build to Rent developments, which are designed with a focus on creating vibrant and connected places to live.”

During the Love to Rent week, people will learn more about this sector. Whether it is the wide choice of pet-friendly developments, the exceptional shared amenities from co-working spaces, gyms, lounges, rooftop gardens or games rooms and the general sense of belonging that is fostered throughout each development.

“The developments are designed to encourage interaction, with shared spaces both inside and out to foster a sense of belonging and provide a chance for tenants to get to know their neighbours,” adds Anne-Marie. “This creates a much more positive experience for customers and when this is combined with all the practical elements that Build to Rent offers, it is no surprise that interest in the sector is growing.”

Love to Rent week will feature news articles, blogs, social content and case studies detailing real life customer experiences. From people that rent with pets through to downsizers that want to travel and not worry about their home while they are away, there are a wide range of interesting stories about the Build to Rent sector.

The Love to Rent website offers homes available nationwide to fit different budget requirements. All homes are quality, secure, professionally managed with community at the heart – this is the golden thread that runs through them all – some homes have added services including concierge, gym, private dining – but they all have the same commitment to delivering exceptional customer service.
