Build to Rent platform launches

A Built to Rent platform called Love to Rent has launched.

The platform provides developers with up-to-date information on the amenities customers want – as well as those they don’t.

Anne-Marie Brown, founder and chief executive of Love to Rent, said: “Build to Rent properties are the future of renting in the UK – and Love to Rent will help ensure they stay at the forefront of what customers are demanding.

“Where the private rental sector stands accused of failing to focus on tenants, Build to Rent developers will have the opportunity to understand exactly what different people in different areas really want from their property.”

Whereas existing search platforms cover all different types of rental property, including buy-to-lets, the data gathered from these sites is not specific to the Build to Rent sector.

The Love to Rent platform went live in October and features properties from across the UK in major cities such as London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol and Leicester.
