Whether you’re an investor, housebuilder, or agent, we think we’re your perfect partner.
Picture Living has one of the largest portfolios of private rental sector properties in the UK, with over 1,700 properties. We offer quality to our renters — in our property, location, and management service — for a reasonable price, on a range of lease terms with no hidden fees.
With renters staying in our properties for an average of four years, we know what we offer to people and their families — flexibility, support, security, energy efficiency — is working for them. When it comes to partnership with Picture Living, you can rest assured that our reputation precedes us and demand will match what’s on offer.
When it comes to working in partnership with Picture Living, our reputation precedes us. In this video, we hear from the CEO of Dorchester Living about their experience of working with Picture Living, how the process worked, and why they would recommend us to others thinking about doing the same.
With such success, it’s no surprise that we’re always looking to grow our offer. Picture Living is backed by long-term, responsible, institutional capital — and we’ve shared some of the characteristics below of the kinds of schemes we invest in. Properties can be acquired via standing asset acquisitions, forward commitments, or forward fund transactions.
We use equity — not debt — to finance property purchases. This supports developers to meet their targets on time, on budget. We believe this makes us the perfect partner.
We’re looking for family housing developments or unbroken blocks of flats with 30-70 units per site, in market and suburban towns throughout mainland UK, with high rental demand.
Each location should have good transport links, large and growing employment opportunities, highly-rated schools nearby, and access to local amenities — parks, shops, entertainment facilities, and so on. We prefer freeholds (or equivalent). Properties should be safe, built to a high standard (typically new or nearly-new), and B+ energy efficiency — for the planet and the pockets of our renters.
