Q.

As a developer, why should I choose Acorn to help me with my ‘build to rent’ development over an agent that is located closer to the site?

A.

We understand that you feel a local agent will attract more local residents, however, our track record shows that this isn’t the case. We have a very experienced team that is deployed on site and is able to lease up a building in any location, unlike many local agents who will not have any prior knowledge of the BTR market. We’d love to hear from you - give us a call on 020 8315 6917 to discuss your development.

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.

Q.

So are ‘build to rent’ developments all the same?

A.

In a word, no. There are many different schemes that offer residents many different services. Some BTR developments will only offer concierge services and others may offer residents lounges, cinema rooms, roof terraces, and more.
