The Challenge of Making Predictions

After two years of unprecedented challenges in real estate, making bold predictions for 2022 remains difficult. However, certain trends are expected to continue shaping the market.

Continued Institutional Investment in BTR

The UK’s Build-to-Rent (BTR) sector will keep attracting significant institutional investment. Large investors recognize it as a profitable residential asset class, given the increasing preference for renting over buying.

Growing Demand for BTR Outpacing Supply

With more people opting to rent, demand for BTR properties is rising rapidly, nearing supply levels. This trend is expected to persist, strengthening the sector’s appeal to investors.

Major Investors Entering the Market

Recently, financial giants like Lloyds Bank and Goldman Sachs have moved into the BTR space. More institutional investors are likely to follow suit, further solidifying BTR’s position in the UK housing market.

The Impact of COVID-19 on UK Housing

Despite the lingering effects of the pandemic, the UK residential market has shown resilience. While uncertainties remain, the housing sector continues to adapt to evolving demands and economic conditions.

London’s Housing Market Gaining Momentum

London’s property market is regaining strength, a trend expected to continue throughout 2022. Rising buyer interest and investment activity suggest a steady recovery, making London a focal point for market growth.
