Legal & General (L&G) has announced the completion of one of the UK's largest purpose-built rental developments, with 1,034 homes across 18 buildings, marking one of the UK’s most significant Build-to-Rent (BTR) schemes, to date. As BTR continues to reshape the private rented sector, Propertymark offers a specialist training course to help agents stay ahead in this growing market. Covering investment trends, legal frameworks, and tenant expectations, the course equips professionals with the knowledge to navigate this evolving sector.

Our Head of Policy and Campaigns, Timothy Douglas, gave evidence to the Local Government and Housing Committee inquiry into the private rented sector (PRS) in Wales, urging them to learn lessons from the impact in Scotland and elaborating on key measures which were contained in Propertymark’s written evidence, such as a review of taxation, improved data collection, and a clear strategic plan to positively move the sector forward.

We agree with a lot of the Government's proposals to help increase Build to Rent schemes but think that more may need to be done to increase investment and development.
