What are single family rental homes?

Single family rental homes are houses that are built specifically for renting, rather than for sales. The aim is to provide a stress-free experience for the renter, with simple contract terms and additional perks and facilities thrown in. These might include community events and spaces, inclusive bills, furnished properties, on-site management and flexible contract terms.

While the Build to Rent sector has gained a reputation for its glitzy city-centre apartment developments, there are a growing number of sites featuring traditional houses. Properties can range from two-bedroom houses right up to large, four or five-bedroom family homes.

The developments provide high-quality, modern housing in convenient locations. Management companies work hard to create a sense of community among residents.

Why choose a single family homes development?

There are numerous benefits to selecting a Build to rent single family homes development. The housing is typically of a higher quality than the traditional rental sector, with new homes designed specifically for the rental experience.

Developers design their collections of homes with a focus on community. As such, rental developments can have a more neighbourly atmosphere, with local events and community spaces provided for use by residents.

If you’re considering renting, a Build to Rent property offers you a tailored rental experience, with flexible terms and contract lengths. Some companies offer long-term tenancies of three years or longer, providing peace of mind for residents. Meanwhile, if you require something more short-term, there are also options out there for you.
