From barely existing in the UK ten years ago, single-family build-to-rent (SFR) has become one of the most dynamic and in-demand asset classes in the property industry. As residents have embraced the sector – attracted by high-quality, well-managed, tenure-secure homes – investor allocations have increased in response to the SFR market’s success and undoubted further potential.
But as a young and growing asset class, definitive data is hard to come by.
To address this, Ascend has teamed up with the Association for Rental Living (ARL) & PriceHubble to launch a new monthly series of research reports to give real-time insights and serve as a benchmark for the single-family BTR sector.
Our latest report, covering the SFR market within the West Midlands, is the first to also include data for the entire private rented sector (PRS), allowing us to show how SFR compares against the wider rental landscape.
Ascend is the UK’s largest third-party operator of SFR, overseeing the leasing and property management of some of the sector’s largest and highest-profile platforms. In total, Ascend manages over 7,000 SFR homes, around two thirds of the entire asset class within the UK, which means it holds the largest set of live operational data for this sub-sector.
Drawing on blended data across all of the stabilised SFR schemes under Ascend’s management, each month we will focus on a specific geographic market, taking a look at everything from rental levels and resident profiles to tenancy lengths and occupancy rates.
Welcome to our third edition of this series – in this report, we’re shining the spotlight on the SFR market within the West Midlands, a county that has been at the forefront of SFR investment since the inception of the sub-sector.

In the second edition of this series, we’re taking a look at the SFR market within Cheshire, one of the county’s most affluent counties, and increasingly a focus for SFR investment and development.
In the first edition of our new monthly SFR market snapshot reports, we’re covering how this asset class performs within Greater Manchester, arguably the most mature SFR market in the UK.
