UK Build to Rent pipeline dries up as starts drop

New Build to Rent starts in the UK have dropped sharply, drying up the pipeline, though the sector still contributes significantly to housing supply.

The UK property market is witnessing a sharp decline in new Build to Rent (BTR) starts, causing the development pipeline to dry up significantly. This reduction in construction activity marks a notable shift in the supply of purpose-built rental homes across the country. Despite this contraction in new projects, the BTR sector continues to make a significant contribution to the overall housing supply.
