Living sectors we cover
Build to Rent
(Multi-family)
Suburban Build to Rent
(Single family housing)
Typically individual houses or low-rise flats in suburban areas, although less closely massed than urban multi-family schemes, they share the strong sense of community prevalent in all forms of BTR. Single family housing communities often offer flexible tenancies, high levels of management service, and a focus on sustainability to reflect their residents’ priorities.
PBSA
(Student housing)
Professionally managed, high-quality accommodation for students, usually owned by large institutional investors. Properties are usually either “cluster” flats with shared kitchen and communal facilities, or self-contained studios, or a mix of both in the same scheme. Buildings often contain shared working/social areas and high levels of onsite management.
Co-living
One of the fastest growing rental sectors, co-living is often seen as a step between PBSA and Build to Rent. Modern living arrangements include shared amenities and activities, building close communities. For follow-on student accommodation in primary and secondary cities, this asset class is attractive to both investors and residents alike.
Later living
(Retirement rentals)
Differing from traditional retirement housing, renting flexibly during retirement is available through an increasing number of retirement rental village schemes. Schemes have high levels of amenity facilities covering restaurants, gyms, healthcare, and communal wellbeing. On-site property and community management is key to activating vibrant communities.
Institutional portfolios
Residential property portfolios represent an attractive haven for institutional capital, across a wide investment base. Despite legislative and economic headwinds, institutional portfolios deliver long term returns. Offering specialist portfolio advice, consultancy, research and management, we cover institutional investors, developers, government bodies and private offices.
