Not only this, but it also gives those of us in the industry an unrivalled view into what matters most to residents and how developments might improve their offering to ensure they stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-reviews-matter\">Why Reviews Matter<\/h2>\n<p>Reviews and ratings are arguably more important today than they have been at any other point in time. This is particularly true of 18-34 year olds who make up much of BTR\u2019s primary demographic. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/theyec\/2019\/08\/21\/why-reviews-are-essential-and-how-to-generate-positive-reviews-for-your-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to Forbes<\/a>, 91% of 18-34 year old consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.<\/p>\n<p>BTR developments must take these reviews seriously and use them to inform how they can improve their services, facilities and homes they deliver to their residents.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-importance-of-technology\">The Importance of Technology<\/h2>\n<p>For a third year in a row, developments using Yardi\u2019s BTR software were rated higher by residents in every review category as opposed to developments not using the software.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/06\/HomeViews-Yardi-Graph-Blog-Image-1.jpg\" alt=\"BTR Developments Using Yardi Software Rank Higher in HomeView\u2019s Report for a Third Year Running\" class=\"wp-image-16727\" style=\"width:564px;height:auto\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.co.uk\/build-to-rent-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yardi\u2019s purpose built BTR software<\/a> provides operators with a single connected solution for property management. It integrates everything from marketing websites, online applications, CRM and leasing, accounting, procurement management, facility and maintenance management, a branded resident app and much more.<\/p>\n<p>Yardi\u2019s end-to-end solution is being used by some of the largest and most successful BTR developments in the UK. It is specifically designed to automate processes and streamline activities allowing for optimal operational efficiency and ultimately an improved resident experience.<\/p>\n<p>This correlation between the use of purpose built software and successful property management highlights the value residents place upon a seamless experience, from booking a viewing and signing a contract all the way to accessing services and amenities once living in the development.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-importance-of-scale-and-operational-efficiency\">The Importance of Scale and Operational Efficiency<\/h2>\n<p>Beyond the importance of good technology for the successful running of BTR developments, the report also gave valuable insights into other market trends.<\/p>\n<p>The trend from last year continues of larger operators with more than 3,000 units ranking higher in key areas than smaller operators. This highlights the importance of scale in BTR when it comes to successful operations. With \u2018value\u2019 consistently ranking the lowest of all areas covered, operators need to ensure areas such as management and customer service are as good as possible. Larger operators using Yardi\u2019s integrated solution can automate transactional tasks and allow operators to provide a better and more personal service, which is reflected in their resident reviews.<\/p>\n<p>The general outlook was overwhelmingly positive, with BTR residents rating their homes higher than previous years. This shows how the maturing industry in the UK is leading to a better product. In addition, audiences in the UK are becoming increasingly aware of BTR as a concept. Most importantly, 28% of consumers found the concept appealing once they were informed of it. Together, this shows that an improving product and growing awareness signals positive growth for the future of BTR in the UK.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-to-the-future\">Looking to the Future<\/h2>\n<p>The general theme of this year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/homeviews.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HomeViews<\/a> report was overwhelming positivity. Despite economic hardships, BTR continues to be an attractive proposition to renters, and the product keeps going from strength to strength as the market matures.<\/p>\n<p>Another theme that has continued throughout the years is the importance of technology when it comes to success in BTR. We have seen that the top performers are consistently the largest providers, showing that scale is key to success \u2013 and that comes down to streamlining processes and delivering consistency when it comes to resident experiences.<\/p>\n<p>As a company, we are thrilled to support the BTR sector and take great pride in seeing the positive reviews from residents. Developments using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yardi<\/a> being ranked higher by residents in all categories surveyed highlights the continued innovation of Yardi\u2019s BTR software and the tangible effect it has on resident satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/business.homeviews.com\/2024-build-to-rent-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>See the full story in the HomeViews 2024 National Build to Rent Report<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.co.uk\/build-to-rent-software\/#schedule-demo\">Book a Demo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As build to rent (BTR) and single-family housing (SFH) continue to flourish in the UK, this year\u2019s HomeViews report gives us our annual glimpse into the performance of developments up and down the UK \u2013 informed entirely by resident reviews.
