Has the Government Sold Off the Private Rental Sector to Build-to-Rent?

In this episode, Rupert Collingwood, a seasoned estate agency expert from London, breaks down the dramatic changes shaking up the UK’s private rented sector. With increasing government regulations pushing many traditional landlords out, institutional investors are stepping in to fill the gap, but at what cost? Rupert explains why, despite some growth in build-to-rent housing, it’s nowhere near enough to replace the thousands of landlords leaving the market. He also explores the conflicting government policies that seem to favour large corporate landlords over local, everyday investors, and what this means for the future of rental homes in the UK. For estate and letting agents looking to understand the shifting property market, this video offers crucial insights and a fresh perspective.
