The report analyzes the UK Build to Rent (BTR) sector's rental growth projections from 2020 to 2024, considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It suggests that while the pandemic will cause a short-term shock to rental growth, the sector will experience a rebound and steady recovery over the next five years. The report bases its projections on a “U” shaped economic recovery scenario, predicting a severe fall in global GDP in 2020 followed by a partial recovery in 2021. Key takeaways include a base case projection of 1.8% per annum rental growth in London and 1.7% in the rest of the UK, outpacing CPI inflation projections. The report also discusses the resilience of the rental sector in past economic downturns, the potential impact of COVID-19 on rental supply and demand, and the structural changes that may influence the sector's future.
