Private Rented Housing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what steps his Department is taking to help increase the availability of private rental properties in England.

Answer

The Government is driving up the supply of new homes by supporting diversification of the market, investing in affordable housing, and increasing land supply for new homes by investing in infrastructure. We also remain committed to continue working towards our ambition of delivering 300,000 homes per year to help create a more sustainable and affordable housing market.

We welcome new institutional investment in the Private Rented Sector and have made interventions to support the Build to Rent sector. Build to Rent boosts housing supply, diversifies the private rental sector, and increases quality and choice for renters in cities and towns across England.
