As the UK housing landscape continues to evolve, Build to Rent (BTR) is taking centre stage, not just in urban centres but also in growing suburban markets. A new episode of The Property Crowd podcast, recorded live at UKREiiF, brings together six of the sector’s leading voices to unpack the challenges, opportunities, and political context shaping BTR today.

In this episode, the panel explores the growing role of single-family rental homes in delivering high-quality, community-driven living across the UK.

Key moments include:
🗣️ “The UK is a stable place to invest” - A vote of confidence from both the panel and growing investor sentiment
🏡 “We need to move the ideology to delivering really good places to live” - A shift from units to communities
