UK build to rent pipeline

Across the UK, 224 build to rent schemes are in the pipeline, together accounting for about 65,000 homes: 90 on site and 134 at planning stage. The homes already on site come to about 23,000, the part of the pipeline most likely to open in the next two to three years. 72 of these schemes have a published completion date, with 2027 the busiest year (29 schemes); the other 152 have no date yet, which is usual for schemes still in planning. In the last three months 149 schemes were added to the tracker, 11 planning decisions were recorded and 1 scheme started on site. London holds the largest share with 103 schemes, followed by West Midlands with 26.

Each record is sourced and moves stage only on evidence, such as a decision notice, a funding charge or a contractor appointment; a commencement notice on its own does not count as a start. The counts on this page come straight from the live records. Pro adds the scheme-level detail behind these numbers: names, developers, owners, operators, homes and planning references.
