Build To Rent More Expensive Than Mainstream Rentals

A new analysis by property consultancy TwentyEA has compared the costs of conventional buy to let-style rental accommodation with purpose-built Build To Rent (BTR) units. According to Landlord Today, the analysis reveals that BTR units are significantly more expensive than mainstream rental options.

The report also notes that the impact of the Renters’ Rights Act is likely to have differed depending on the type of landlord. This information may be relevant for letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring trends in the UK rental market.
