A Build To Rent developer has released the first phase of apartments at what it describes as its flagship scheme - and it has given an insight into pricing, too.
Comer Homes says its 167 flats at Whyteleafe House in Surrey start at £861 pcm for a one-bedroom apartment and £1,051 pcm for a two-bedroom apartment. Residents have access to a private gym, hotel-style lobby and a 24-hour concierge service; there are 115 car bays and 20 cycle bays.
Marketing director Caroline Comer says: “At all of our schemes we strive to deliver well-considered homes that benefit from good locations and excellent facilities. This is the perfect combination for rental schemes and we believe this will attract a wide range of tenants.”

That will really help - what is LHA is Surrey? Affordable housing is what we need, not high end flats with extras!
167 Flats but only 115 car parking spaces ?
Andrew, it's 2023 now. We are all targeting #NetZero together. Along with #20'splenty so you can barely move around anymore anyway. The focus is all about 'active travel' now. Not everyone needs a car or wants a car. If they don't provide the spaces then that means people cannot have and use their cars. Shopping can be bought on the way home or delivered. Families can now organise Skype or Zoom video calls with their old sick relatives. People are free to use Uber or other similar services where public transport is not available. People that move to these dwellings should be young, fit and able too. There really is no need for parking spaces in 2023.
The government and council's run our lives not us!
I am wondering, with public transport in chaos, more people will probably have cars not less.
Also, I see you have to pay an extra monthly rent for a parking space.
Good spot Andrew. Yes muppets are running everything now. We need more roads and more parking spaces. With electric or hydrogen cars coming to be the norm over the next 50 years who will want to travel on public services and then taxi or bus to wherever they go next.
The exception to this is city dwellers, you don't need a car then.
I would think this might appeal to some, and others will apply out of desperation. How many will reliably pay the rent is another question.
Would not appeal to the kind of tenants I rent to as they want a traditional house their own garden space. I had one "maisonette" which was identical to some of my other properties except there was no allocated garden, and it was much less popular and attracted a different type of tenant (hence I have sold it).
I'm mainly houses as well, just 2 flats above shops, my better tenants are in the houses, but the rent from the flats are a bit of a bonus on top of the rent from the shops
