Around the Table: A podcast by Building Relations
The Rise and Future of Single Family Housing
In this insightful episode, we explore the dramatic rise of Single Family Housing (SFH) as one of the UK’s fastest-growing residential sectors – and ask what it means for renters, investors, housebuilders, and communities.
Host Rachel Colgan from Building Relations PR is joined by:
- Piers de Winton (Savills) – lead author of the latest SFH report and a key voice on UK residential investment strategy
- Lottie Outen (Kennedy Wilson) – sharing a global investor’s perspective on the scale, ESG demands, and opportunity ahead
- Simon Pendlebury (Dandara) – offering boots-on-the-ground insight into delivering 200+ purpose-built homes at Linmere
Together, they unpack the trends reshaping the Build-to-Rent landscape and why institutional investors are betting big on houses, not just apartments.
Topics include:
- Why SFH now makes up over 50% of Build-to-Rent investment
- What renters really want – and how housebuilders are adapting
- How institutional capital is driving better ESG standards
- The future of design, delivery, and operational models
- Practical lessons from delivering sustainable homes at scale
A must-listen for developers, investors, planners, or anyone curious about how SFH is redefining suburban renting – and the long-term shape of the UK housing market.
