Knight Frank – Single Family Housing Report, 2025

The main theme of the report is the analysis of performance and opportunities in the single-family housing (SFH) rental sector.

Key findings include significant growth in investments in the SFH sector, with over £3.6 billion invested since 2023. There is an increase in SFH transactions in the UK, with 31 deals last year, up 24% compared to the previous year. The report highlights the attraction of global capital, with growing interest from investors in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. SFH accounts for one-fifth of all homes under construction in the Build to Rent (BTR) sector. There is potential for significant growth, as only 0.2% of current private rental homes in the suburbs are managed by SFH investors.
