The build to rent sector offers enormous possibilities for developers and investors – we are supporting clients to maximise their opportunities in this emerging asset class
Allsop’s Build to Rent team has helped to shape PRS and lobby favourable policy through industry professional bodies such as the British Property Federation (BPF) and Urban Land Institute (ULI). We researched and co-wrote “Invest to Rent” with London Councils and the BPF, and designed the BPF Private Rental Sector Initiative investment model. We are also familiar with the functionality of multi-family in the US having been on several tours and have contributed to both editions of the ULI’s “Build to Rent: A Best Practice Guide”.
Our long standing involvement in the PRS and build to rent market provides valuable insight into product performance and resident trends, as well as investor sentiment and planning strategy, arming us with key experience, client contacts and data for modelling and assessing build to rent. We offer a holistic build to rent service, from initial consultancy stages through to delivery and management.
Allsop is perfectly placed to advise investors, developers, landowners and Funds on all aspects of build to rent opportunities throughout the UK, assisting to maximise returns, manage risk and support long-term investment.
client testimonials
“Allsop bring a wealth of experience in managing rental properties to managing the Moorfield funds’ BTR assets. Lesley and her team share our customer service ambitions, and have proactively embraced new technologies and customer facing innovations to deliver an outstanding and seamless customer experience to our residents. We look forward to working together on future schemes.”
Sadie Malim
Head of Special Projects and Legal, Moorfield Group
“Andy Pointon and his investment advisory team have been critical in navigating our BTR seed portfolio through the complex viability challenges around Build to Rent in a UK market that is still uncertain about this asset class. Andy’s background of commercial expertise is especially helpful when applied to the nuances of BTR that don’t align with traditional residential assumptions but the whole team are proactive, thorough, open and engaging. Their genuinely collaborative approach is refreshing and I particularly value their ability to approach each scheme on its individual terms, rather than trying to apply one headline model that cannot reflect the inherently bespoke nature of BTR.”
Alex Notay
Build to Rent Fund Director, PfP Capital
