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.

At what stage should I contact the Build to Rent division about my scheme?

A.

It’s never too early! Some of our clients come to us with buildings ready to go, while others are yet to apply for planning. Thanks to our experience letting over 2,500 BTR apartments, we have a great deal of experience, and we use our historic data to help us analyse schemes on behalf of clients. While the rental market is fluid, we like to provide ERV reports at the earliest stage that can then be updated throughout construction. To find out more about how we may be able to help, give us a call on 020 8315 6917.

Q.

How do I know if the land I own would be suitable for a ‘build to rent’ scheme?

A.

Get in touch! Our experts deal with many clients confidentially to ensure any land either currently owned or yet to be acquired is suitable for ‘build to rent’, and if it’s not, we will put you in touch with our lovely colleagues in New Homes Sales. Start the process by calling us today on 020 8315 6917.
