Whether you're a young professional stepping out of your family home, managing the complexities of raising a family, or exploring new possibilities now that your children have moved out, modern renters are seeking homes that fit seamlessly with their evolving lifestyles. Convenience, flexibility, and a sense of community are now key priorities for those looking to rent.
In recent years, the way people live and work has undergone significant transformation. With the rise of remote working and the growing need for adaptable living environments, older rental properties have struggled to keep up with the demands of today’s renters. This is where Build to Rent offers a compelling alternative. Purpose-built for modern lifestyles, Build to Rent developments provide flexible leases, high-quality amenities, and community-focused spaces that cater to the evolving expectations and setting a new standard for rental living.
Aiysha and George graduated from university a few years ago and were not ready to buy a home of their own, but they didn’t want to compromise their expectations or feel that their rental property wasn’t a proper home. The couple found Build to Rent operator Simple Life after looking around the Manchester area.
“Simple Life told us that although you rent from us, this is your home and make it your own,” said Aiysha. “We loved this as well as the open plan kitchen diner which offers a lovely social space. The bedrooms are also a really good size, which is important because George works from home; we feel there is enough space to comfortably live and work here. The separate living room is great as you can switch off at the end of the working day and sit in a different space.”
The couple chose to live just outside the city centre and have particularly enjoyed the seamless experience of settling into their new home. From the hassle-free move-in process to the convenience of nearby amenities, their decision to live in a well-connected yet peaceful area has allowed them to enjoy the best of both worlds.
George adds: “I recommend Simple Life through the ease in which we were able to rent a new build house that feels like home. The communication with the team at Simple Life has been excellent, and we have actually already recommended to a friend.”
Homes that are move-in ready are one of the biggest benefits of the Build to Rent sector. Many properties have the option of being offered fully equipped with furniture packs and fast WiFi as standard, making them ideal for those looking to settle in without the hassle of organising utilities or furnishing their new space.
This seamless experience begins with Build to Rent right from the outset.
At Greenwich Peninsula the team pride themselves in ensuring every detail is meticulously planned and executed, from innovative design to quality construction, all while providing residents with seamless support, high-end amenities, and a sense of community that enhances the living experience.
“The London rental market can be incredibly daunting and was proving to be highly stressful in finding a property that ticked our criteria for a reasonable budget,” says Annie, a customer with Greenwich Peninsula Lettings. “From the moment I contacted the team, the process of finding and securing a property was seamless. The rental offer process was handled super speedily with clear instructions and full transparency about fees and terms. We're super excited to move into our new home and thankful again to the team for all of their help along the way.”

When it comes to location, developers and operators strategically create Build to Rent developments in prime areas, offering the perfect balance of convenience and modern living. Positioned near city centres, transport hubs, and vibrant community areas, these developments provide residents with easy access to work and leisure, enriching their overall lifestyle. With amenities such as community spaces, gyms, and nearby entertainment options, customers can enjoy a well-rounded living experience.
Ultimately, Build to Rent developers have fully understood their market and what they want from their homes as Paul Dobbs from the Northern Group explains: “We strongly feel (and have first-hand real experiences) that by raising the standard of spaces, we will create communities that residents and workers feel a part of. This helps residents putdown genuine roots.”
