Your questions answered for Maidenhead
Do build to rent schemes have to include affordable housing?
Often, yes, depending on the nation and the council's policy. In England, national policy expects build to rent schemes to provide affordable housing, usually as affordable private rent. Elsewhere, requirements are set by the council's development plan. The detail is agreed at planning stage and recorded in a planning agreement.
Can registered providers take on build to rent homes?
Yes. Registered providers can acquire rental homes through forward purchase or package deals, including homes for social rent, affordable rent, mid-market rent or market rent, depending on the nation and their own objectives. We discuss schemes with providers and plan them around the provider's standards and funding conditions.
Is this an investment opportunity?
No. Nothing on this site is an offer or invitation to invest, and we do not take money from members of the public. Build to rent partnerships are agreed privately with institutions, registered providers and other professional parties, each relying on its own advisers and due diligence. We do not publish projected profits or performance figures.
What is affordable private rent?
Affordable private rent is the usual form of affordable housing in build to rent schemes in England. Homes are let at a discount to local market rent, managed by the build to rent landlord rather than a housing association, and secured through a planning obligation. Eligibility and the level of discount are set by the council's policy.
