There is an idea of life in London that sticks in our minds, a vision that fuels our ambitions and packs those removal vans… here’s how Build to Rent – a different kind of property to rent in London – can get you there.
Here, in the vibrant heart of the Big Smoke, you crave it all: a thriving career, a social life that's the envy of your friends, a wardrobe that wouldn't look out of place at Fashion Week, and of course, a glamorous London flat that sits right at the centre of it all. If you've been cultivating this dream, spring 2024 might be the perfect time to spring into action and make it blossom.
What Build to Rent can do for you as a London renter
Build to Rent (BTR) is a different way of renting that's quickly growing on Londoners. These professionally managed apartments are designed with their residents’ needs in mind in order to encourage Generation Rent to stay long-term. Think modern finishes, incredible onsite amenities, strategic locations for fast transport links and a genuine focus on building a community.
Why would that matter to you? If you feel like something's missing from your great big London adventure, and you're looking for more in your rental experience, becoming a Build to Rent resident might plant you in the sunnier side of London living and make your lifestyle bloom.
How BTR taps into the potential of London living
This kind of renting is the perfect match for busy Londoners:
Community as more than a buzzword
Developers put a lot of time, effort and money into cultivating community – and why wouldn't you, if you want people to stay long-term? They design residents' areas to encourage socialisation and host events and activities to help you connect with your neighbours. We find that residents grow to cherish this aspect of Build to Rent in London.

Free up your time: the perks of built-in amenities
Many developments come with amenities, from on-site gyms to cafes to co-working spaces to concierge. This means you can ditch the expensive gym membership, squeeze in a coffee date before work and free up your evenings to explore what London has to offer, all without the hassle of long commutes.
