We know there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to designing a successful residential building. Drawing on our unmatched experience of launching and operating over 25 Build to Rent and Co-living schemes across the UK, we carry out detailed design reviews and provide tailored recommendations that align with your goals and vision.

Our in-depth Design Review Matrix brings together market trends, statutory requirements, best practices and real-world lessons learned. Through this process, we assess the impact of key design choices – from balconies and furnished apartments to bath vs. shower preferences – on rental values and operational performance. The result is a design that maximises both appeal and profitability.

A must-have report for any investor entering a city for the first time. This comprehensive report delivers clear insights into the city’s context, connectivity, community and rental market – all underpinned by relevant comparables and market data.

Trusted across the industry, our reports provide detailed analysis of local demographics, wages, employment trends, transport infrastructure, rental activity and residential comparables – offering a complete view of the market and enabling informed, strategic decisions for your next project.

We provide location-specific market updates featuring detailed analysis of rental values, stock availability and demand, alongside broader market trends tracked over multiple years. This is combined with research into competitor schemes across a range of tenures, helping you position your development effectively within the local context. By benchmarking against both existing and pipeline schemes, we deliver tailored recommendations to maximise rental performance and strengthen your appeal to the target audience.

Our comprehensive rental appraisals provide accurate estimates of potential rental income for new developments on a unit-by-unit basis. By leveraging our deep industry expertise and conducting extensive research into local market trends and comparable schemes, we offer highly reliable, market-driven insights. This ensures that the rents we recommend are not only competitive but aligned with the current demand in your target market.

We draw on our extensive operational expertise to produce comprehensive, line-by-line budgets tailored to all scheme types. These include forecasted rental income, ancillary revenue streams such as car parking and storage, and over 100 cost lines covering every aspect of operational expenditure. Depending on your needs, we offer either a high-level stabilised budget to support early-stage financial decisions, or a full operational budget that includes Year 1 forecasts, mobilisation and set-up costs, and a 10-year outlook. Both formats are institutional-grade and widely recognised as essential tools for robust financial planning.

We offer high-level management strategies to support the planning and construction stages, alongside comprehensive management strategies essential for mobilisation and ongoing operation. Both documents address key operational areas – from fire safety to waste management – while the full strategy provides a more tailored approach, customised to your scheme’s specific assets, service offerings and operational preferences.
