What are single family homes?
Single family homes developments are rental houses built specifically for renting. To date, much of the Build to Rent sector’s success has come from luxury city-centre apartment developments. However, the trend is shifting towards rental houses, with developers and investors snapping up sought-after suburban sites to create rental housing communities.
These new rental developments offer an alternative to the traditional private rental sector. Tenants can choose from flexible contract terms, with long-term options available. Developers tend to offer various perks and add-ons to their packages. These include on-site management and maintenance teams, as well as community facilities and events.
The benefits of single family homes developments
There are numerous benefits to single family homes developments. With the rental market becoming ever-more competitive, single family rental homes provide a point of difference to the traditional private rental sector. These are new build developments, so you’re unlikely to be affected by some of the issues that regularly affect private renters in older, creaky rental housing.
Developers design their rental sites with tenants in mind. As such, you get attention to detail on the elements that matter. This includes home maintenance and management teams, while developers regularly provide events aimed at building community among residents.
Long-term contracts are available, providing security for renters. Meanwhile, many of the developments are pet-friendly, recognising that for many people, pets are an important part of the family.
Choosing the right single family homes development for you
Deciding on the right single family homes development for you will depend on your specific needs. Many of the UK’s developments are currently located around the northwest of England. Greater Manchester and Merseyside are particularly popular spots, so if you’re looking for rental housing in the northwest, you’re really spoilt for choice.
Developers are, however, starting to spread their wings and offer sites across the country. Developments tend to be in suburban city locations where there’s space to breathe and easy access to a wide variety of amenities.
Most developers offer on-site management and maintenance teams to deal with any issues that may arise. Furrthermore, if you want to get to know your neighbours, make sure you opt for a developer that provides community events and facilities.
