The Association for Rental Living

We are always supportive of the Love to Rent awards - recognising all that is great in BTR

The Association for Rental Living’s call to ‘pull the BTR lever’ to increase the volume and speed of housing delivery has been featured in Development Finance Today. The respected trade publication published the Association for Rental Living’s response to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill, introduced by the government earlier this week, which broadly welcomes the Bill, especially the requirement for mandatory training of planning committees. It also shared our call for specific BTR training to be included as part of the mandatory training, highlighting that the understanding of the BTR proposition and development dynamics is vital for local planning committees and officials.

“BTR is a lever that’s got the most grease if the government gets the conditions right” This was the view shared by The Association for Rental Living CEO, Brendan Geraghty, in response to a question posed by Property Week as to what the Labour government must do in order to live up to its good housing intentions.
