Navigating Reform in Build-to-Rent with Rachel Hanniquet-Brooking (APO Group)
This week on Pillow Talk Sessions, Jessica Gillingham and Kristian Lupinski are joined by Rachel Hanniquet-Brooking, Managing Director of APO Group LTD, to explore the state of the UK rental market—and how Build-to-Rent operators can prepare for seismic change.
💡 Tune in to hear Rachel’s perspective on:
🧾 The impact of the Renters Reform Bill on no-fault evictions and lease terms
📉 Why tighter regulation could drive traditional landlords out—and open new doors for BTR
🏘️ The fine balance between automation, cost efficiency, and real service
📲 Why resident-focused tech needs to be built in early—not just added later
Rachel draws on 25+ years in hospitality and property to provide grounded, actionable insight into a sector at a turning point.
