Latest analysis from the British Property Federation and Savills shows continued strength in build-to-rent (BTR) completions in the United Kingdom, with more than 17,000 homes completed between first quarter 2024 and first quarter 2025, bringing the total number of completed BTR homes to 127,150. This includes more than 55,400 homes completed in London and 71,700 across the regions, with regional growth (18 percent) outpacing the capital (13 percent).
