The benefits of the UK's long-term, low-risk build-to-rent (BTR) housing sector is being embraced by institutional investors, as the buoyant market continues, with 240,000 BTR homes set to be delivered by 2030. Fundraising elsewhere has also been robust with, among others, M&G and Legal & General Investment Management respectively raising £600m and £300m of additional equity for investment in BTR developments at the turn of the year. In a report published today, the National Housing Federation (NHF) said that more than half (52%) of all new builds in England are now BTR homes, up from just over 50% last year. The government-backed private rented sector guarantee scheme, managed by Venn Partners, aims to speed up investment in BTR by providing developers with access to long-term loans. The scheme has recently made its first bond issuance of £214m.
