Living Sectors

Typically individual houses or low-rise flats in suburban areas, although less closely massed than urban multi-family schemes, they share the strong sense of community prevalent in all forms of BTR. Single family housing communities often offer flexible tenancies, high levels of management service, and a focus on sustainability to reflect their residents’ priorities.

Professionally managed, high-quality accommodation for students, usually owned by large institutional investors. Properties are usually either “cluster” flats with shared kitchen and communal facilities, or self-contained studios, or a mix of both in the same scheme. Buildings often contain shared working/social areas and high levels of onsite management.

One of the fastest growing rental sectors, co-living is often seen as a step between PBSA and Build to Rent. Modern living arrangements include shared amenities and activities, building close communities. For follow-on student accommodation in primary and secondary cities, this asset class is attractive to both investors and residents alike.

Differing from traditional retirement housing, renting flexibly during retirement is available through an increasing number of retirement rental village schemes. Schemes have high levels of amenity facilities covering restaurants, gyms, healthcare, and communal wellbeing. On-site property and community management is key to activating vibrant communities.
