    Build to Rent and the future of private renting in the UK with Hannah Marsh

    In this episode, Steven and Nick chat to Hannah Marsh from HomeViews about the future of the private rented sector and what impact Build to Rent schemes will have on it.   Hannah runs an online review platform called HomeViews which allows prospective buyers and tenants to read reviews of residential developments.

    We discuss:

    • What HomeViews is ?
    • What is build to rent and what type of tenant demographics do they cater for?
    • How important is location?
    • What’s included in the costs and what extra facilities/ services are usually provided ?
    • Could  BTR be rolled out at scale to try and solve the current shortage of housing crisis in the PRS?
    • Will more and more people look to rent rather than buy as house prices become more unaffordable.?
    • What are people looking for in a rented home?  Important trends or feedback from renters.
    • Will BTR will squeeze out the traditional buy-to-let landlord?
    • What impact will it have on the PRS as a whole?
    • Scotland specific data on BTR
