Question #29

Q.

What makes a 'build to rent' property different to a normal rental property?

A.

The main differences are that the building is occupied by renters! There is no hierarchy, every resident is equal. ‘Build To Rent’ properties are owned by one landlord (usually a company) and are managed professionally, which means no more waiting for your landlord to get back from holiday to fix your leak. Many schemes offer residents flexibility in the length of the tenancy, from 6 months to over 3 years, and developments are generally based in a central location, close to transport links.
