The Private Rented Sector (PRS) has grown substantially in recent years. The steady rise in property prices has meant that first-time buyers, especially in big cities like London and Manchester, are renting for longer and looking for a higher standard of accommodation.
At its heart, the PRS sector is built on innovators and disrupters. The industry has changed the rules of renting by focusing on building communities as well as high-spec homes which appeal to young professionals. Amenities are key and many developments offer concierge, workspaces, a club room communal lounges, roof terraces and gyms.
We’ve had a look at some of the most exciting companies in this industry and have include our favourites below.
