At Investec Private Bank, we think it’s time for global investors to look at the UK’s residential rental property market differently. With insights from the US market, we believe there is an investment case – and investor appetite – for grouping private rented sector, student accommodation, retirement living, co-living and serviced apartments within a single portfolio.
To understand this appetite, we’ve released our latest report: Future Living. We’ve interviewed experts in the field and surveyed industry specialists to understand how this sector is evolving and what's next on the horizon of the UK industry.
Key survey results
Investors who succeed in developing – and fine-tuning – a blended residential rental strategy will help to drive the emergence of a new multi-class rental category, one we’re calling ‘Living’. A new asset class that will compete with other real estate asset classes as global bond yields rise. We surveyed* more than 50 institutional investors from across UK real estate, representing £338bn in global assets under management, and spoke to numerous industry experts, to conclude that combining complementary use classes in a single structured portfolio will give investors access to strong and sustainable income.
