Why Use Build-to-Rent Development Finance?

Build-to-Rent (BTR) development finance is designed for developers creating residential properties specifically for the rental market. Whether you’re building a single block or a multi-unit estate, BTR finance provides the capital and flexibility to deliver high-quality, income-generating developments with a long-term rental focus.

Build-to-Rent finance is ideal when:

✅ You’re developing purpose-built rental homes
✅ You need funds for new-build or conversion projects
✅ You’re targeting long-term rental income rather than sales
✅ You want to refinance bridging or short-term finance
✅ You’re funding through a Limited Company or SPV
✅ You want finance aligned with your rental yield and exit strategy

At The Funding Group, we help developers access specialist BTR finance with clear guidance and full support throughout the development process.
