Urgent need for Increased Awareness of Build-to-Rent Among UK MPs

Research conducted by Cavendish Consulting and YouGov reveals a concerning lack of prioritization of Build-to-Rent (BTR) homes among UK MPs. Despite high demand for rental properties, only 11% of UK MPs would prioritize the development of new BTR homes in their constituencies.

Key Findings

  • BTR homes ranked 7th out of eight listed housing options in terms of priority among MPs.
  • 63% of Conservative MPs and a significant portion of MPs from other parties did not prioritize BTR homes.

Implications

The low prioritization of BTR homes among UK MPs may exacerbate the existing housing shortage and limit the growth of the rental market.
