Placefirst
We are Placefirst. We are an award winning and experienced build-to-rent developer with a growing portfolio of over 1,500 homes throughout the UK. Since our establishment in 2010, we’ve been committed to building and developing aspirational neighbourhoods with high-quality, well-maintained homes built specifically for rent for the local community. We currently have a mixture of refurbished and built neighbourhoods across the UK that are all individual and created with the community in mind. At Placefirst, we design, develop, let and manage the neighbourhoods we create, and we have specialist in-house teams to handle every step of the resident journey. We stay for the long term - after each development is complete, we stay on site to manage our neighbourhoods. We are not scared of challenging sites and we have the expertise to see the projects through. We’re proud to work with a variety of partners across our portfolio, working collaboratively to deliver exceptional neighbourhoods of high-quality homes for rent, that deliver positive social impact. We also have a strong track record of delivering high quality refurbishment, with homes that focus on energy efficiency, quality, and a respectful nod to the past by keeping heritage aspects wherever we can. We provide a comprehensive BTR delivery service including development, construction, resident services, and ongoing estate management.
