Last Friday, I had the pleasure of speaking in a webinar alongside other industry experts. It was a very insightful session, organised by Urban Living News, so worth watching the recording if you missed it - link here: https://lnkd.in/dUcTWGMG. My topic of discussion was 'UK Co-living goes nationwide', and some of the key takeaways are: - Currently, there are almost 24,000 Co-living homes across the UK, both operational and in the pipeline. - We estimate that there are 1.7 million people currently renting in shared accommodation in urban centres across the UK. Yet, complete Co-living homes account for less than 1% of that target market. - The key hotspots for Co-living are some of the big cities with strong market fundamentals, such as Manchester, Salford, Liverpool and Birmingham. However, we are also seeing Co-living homes under construction or with planning granted in smaller cities such as Guilford, Brighton and Woking. - Co-living schemes in the regions are generally larger than in London. We are also seeing an increase in unit sizes. Knight Frank #BTR #Co-living #SFH
