Built to Rent Developments
What is
Built to Rent?
On PlanetRent we like to showcase NEXT GEN properties: properties to let that are greener and cheaper to run, we call these low bills properties. Build to Rent, often referred to as BTR is the fastest-growing sector within the residential investment industry. BTR developments are specifically built for the rental market to be held long-term by institutional investors. Many BTR developments offer residents amenities to enjoy such as co-working spaces, on-site gyms, resident lounges and an immediate connection to superfast wi-fi.
BTR Epitomises
A Landlord That Cares
Institutional investors provide a long-term commitment to their assets. The monthly rent paid to the fund is mostly reinvested to create value that then pays out to stakeholders, such as people that rely on the institutiosn for their pension
Institutional landlords are expert investors. Their mindset is to maintain the asset value by meeting reasonable repair requests quickly and efficiently. Institutions want to create a happy environment so residents stay longer. Their priority is to look after you.
Living Sectors

Student
PBSA or purpose built student accommodation is a class of property that is considered a superior alternative to university halls or old-style private rented sector HMOs. These are usually self-contained living spaces in cluster flats.
Co-Living
New build co-Living is gaining pace. Co-living is a new urban living concept that fosters a community who spill into plenty of community spaces and amenities so that living extends beyond the apartment.

BTR Is
Low Bills Living
BTR developments are gas-free, all electric buildings built to exemplorary sustainability standards which results in cheaper utility bills for residents. Most have Wi-Fi included, with paid speed upgrades and are move-in ready homes, often fully furnished too.
It was Part L Regulations (June 2022) that required all new developments to produce 30% less carbon dioxide emissions (than previously) so look for the -30% carbon footprint sign to see which homes on PlanetRent are well-insulated and ahve been built to this standard. Inside the homes you should find energy-efficient appliances, double or triple-glazed windows, heat recovery and recycling heat from cooking or showering and more... These properties are the green choice. 
BTR Landlords Love To Shout
About Their Green Credentials
PlanetRent loves to champion NEXT GEN buildings that boast great environmental credentials. We know institutional landlords prioritise sustainability so it would only be right for us to shout about it too. We here at PlanetRent are committed to showcasing properties that support the greening agenda as we believe this aligns to the values of the discerning renter.
Look out for the -30% carbon foot in our property listings.
BTR Offers
No Maintenance Hassle
Living with minimal maintenance is one of the most attractive aspects of a BTR property. Most properties are new and are designed for ease of maintenance.
Typically, UK BTR developments with over 75 homes include on-site staff, removing the problem of reporting a repair to an agent or inexperienced landlord, where response times can vary wildly and include frustrating and time-consuming. Build-to-Rent champions hotel style responsiveness.
And, as the landlord has likely developed the property, they will know everything about the building's construction and how to deal with any issues. Better still, since BTR properties are newly constructed with high-quality standards, there are fewer maintenance problems in the first place.
