Rented Housing: Construction
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what Government-backed loan guarantees or financing facilities currently support lending to the build-to-rent sector.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The government‘s £3.5 billion Private Rented Sector Guarantee Scheme (PRSGS) was reopened in March 2025 to new applicants for another three years and makes loan guarantees available for Build-to-Rent operators to support housebuilding
Build to Rent operators are also one of the groups that benefit from finance from our £2 billion Home Building Fund.
We have also announced that the National Housing Bank, backed by up to £16 billion of finance, will be launched in April 2026. Its detailed investment approach will be outlined in due course.
