A sustainable and green way forward
- Our schemes encourage greater use of public transport and we prefer sites close to transport hubs and local amenities, promoting walking and cycling.
- We use Modern building techniques particularly our modular homes. Building materials are sustainably sourced – minimising embodied carbon emissions and improving the life expectancy of building infrastructure.
- Energy efficient internal appliances and technology are used as standard – reducing operational carbon emissions.
- Creation of green communal space – giving residents access to open space in an urban location.
Social value and community living
- We seek improvements to the public realm. Increasing user activity and footfall, encouraging greater community integration.
- We seek mixed-use led development, encouraging mixed tenures and wider community growth and social cohesion.
- Our sites support hundreds of jobs on site and in administrative roles overseeing delivery.
- Our amenity provision typically includes high specification gyms – improving mental health and wellbeing.
- We also seek to accommodate extensive communal areas including a residents lounges which encourage one off interactions and fosters a sense of community. This allows a community to evolve organically.
Operational efficiency and governance
- Operational Management: Build to Rent offers complete sustainable governance through the concierge; handling resident feedback with consistent communication between landlord and tenants. This also guarantees improved transparency over maintenance issues and more regular updates on the status of any maintenance/repair issues.
- Mixed tenures across the wider site promote a larger pool of stakeholders, holding decision makers to account.
- UK BTR industry is still in its infancy – encouraging property professionals to share best practice, creating a transparent and collegiate environment. This transparency encourages industry leaders and investors to adhere to higher standards as the market continues to evolve.
