Rental Living Summit 2025

We had a fantastic couple of days at the Rental Living Summit 2025 in Manchester. The event brought together leaders and innovators from across the BTR sector to share insights, explore challenges, and celebrate the continued growth of the industry.

We were thrilled to catch up with long-standing BTR Partners including Moda, urbanbubble, Capital & Centric, Greystar, Dandara Living. We also took the opportunity to speak to new BTR partners and see first-hand the exciting developments taking place across the UK’s rental living landscape. 

Key takeaways included: 

• The importance of adapting to enhanced regulation around rent reform, safety, and ESG requirements.
• The role of AI in driving operational efficiency and enhancing the resident experience.
• How demographic changes are influencing design, location, and investment strategies.
• The challenge of balancing sustainability, affordability, and long-term value creation.

Collette Naylor, flatfair’s Senior BTR Manager says, ‘It was great to catch up with our BTR partners and see the exciting trajectory the sector is on — the energy, the innovation, the ambition — it’s inspiring.’ 

A huge thank you to the organisers, speakers, and attendees for delivering such an insightful event. We look forward to building on these conversations in the months ahead!
