A recent report indicates that 71% of property investors are planning to invest in the Build to Rent sector, even as the number of new developments starting construction has sharply declined.
The findings come from Handelsbanken’s fifth annual Property Investor Report, which surveyed 200 real estate investors, property management professionals, and landlords. The research also reveals that almost two thirds (63%) of respondents intend to increase their exposure to houses over the next 12 months.
For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, these trends highlight ongoing interest in the Build to Rent market, despite challenges in new project starts. The report suggests that investor focus may remain strong in this sector, potentially impacting demand for property management and inventory services.
