In dealing with the most pressing human issues relating to Covid-19, the centralised management of BTR properties and BTR services have offered practical advantages in the lockdown.Against this backdrop, the Build to Rent (BTR) service and delivery models have emerged as offering clear advantages over the traditional landlord. During lockdown many of the accepted housing assumptions and practices have been tested. With over 350,000 PRS households in Scotland, the sector plays a crucial role in the country’s housing system. During the Covid-19 outbreak, the Private Rented Sector (PRS) has made many headlines, as the nature of the landlord tenant relationship once again comes under scrutiny.

The effects of lockdown are set to have long lasting implications from the individual household level to societal issues of housing supply. There can be no doubt that 2020 has been an unusual year, with the property sector experiencing a particularly acute impact.

Rent levels in the Scottish private rented sector are expected to drop back and vacancy levels will rise for a time. The Covid-19 pandemic will have impacts on the sector.The total construction value of such schemes in Scotland is now over £1 billion.However, a number of large schemes have moved forward in planning and financing in the last year. There are still relatively few operating BTR homes, with much of the supply remaining potential.Glasgow continues to lead the way, with around 4,500 BTR homes, followed by Edinburgh (around 3,100 homes) and Aberdeen (around 1,100 homes).It is also encouraging to see affordable BTR homes being provided with more MMR schemes being funded by public and private capital.' Dr John Boyle, Director of Research KEY FINDINGS: Once fully up and running, BTR will become a major provider of housing in Scotland and generate significant economic impact. 'As in the rest of the UK, the BTR sector has continued to grow in Scotland in the last year and, despite the pandemic, developer and investor commitment to the sector remains strong. We are delighted to share our latest detailed Build to Rent Briefing with you, which shows a rise in the number of operating and pipeline BTR homes to nearly 9,000, up 24% in a year.īTR pipeline continues to accelerate in Scotland
