We’re delighted to share yet another great piece of coverage for HomeViews. This week, it’s a write-up by David Byers in The Times’ Bricks & Mortar. Here’s a sneak peek at the feature…

It’s easy to find an online score for a hotel, but until now there has been no way of rating homes in new-build developments, which has left anyone thinking of buying or renting one in the dark.

Three entrepreneurs are trying to fill the gap with a new website, dubbed the TripAdvisor for the property market.

In the article, David mentions the emerging Build to Rent market, which we explored heavily in our first whitepaper:

One of the factors that prompted the three founders to start the business was the rapid growth of the “build-to-rent” sector, where the landlord is a company not an individual.

Some interesting early trends have emerged from the soft launch: while 96 per cent of build-to-rent tenants would recommend their development overall, some developers consistently do better than others.”
