Build to Rent in Scotland: a new deal for customers
The UKAA鈥檚 first event sponsored by Shoosmiths in Scotland saw the launch of our Scotland Hub chaired by Gillian McLees.听听听
The Build to Rent industry in Scotland offers a real opportunity to realise the nation鈥檚 鈥楬ousing to 2040鈥� ambitions through delivering more homes more quickly and achieving better standards than many of the alternatives.听With Scottish Government鈥檚 鈥淎 New Deal for Tenants鈥� consultation period nearing a close, this event explored what this all means for the Build to Rent sector.听听
We presented two panel discussions:
In the first panel,听 moderated by Robin Blacklock (Dowbrae), we assessed the actions Government may take to achieve their aim of 鈥榚ncouraging BTR Developments in Scotland鈥�, particularly in the context of the wider proposals contained in their draft strategy.
With the focus firmly on customers, our second panel, moderated by Iain Murray (Cortland Consult) looked at the role BTR plays in evolving the market from the traditional landlord-tenant听relationship, to one which puts the resident experience at the forefront of the proposition.听
We were also joined by Lesley Roberts, Allsop, UKAA President and Gillian McLees, Rettie & Co and UKAA’s Scotland Chair, who set out how the UKAA plans to support members with an interest or presence in Scotland to:听
- convene to discuss national BTR opportunities and challenges through a local lens
- understand local challenges and opportunities in BTR
- hold local events and networking for wider audiences
Event sponsor: 听are a UK leader in the 鈥榣iving鈥� sector, heavily involved in the development of and investment into BTR schemes throughout the UK as well as into single family housing schemes, working with many of the UK鈥檚 largest housebuilders.
