Annual investment in UK living real estate has exceeded £10bn in the third quarter of 2022, putting living on track for a record year, despite global geopolitical and economic volatility.
Investors completed £3bn in build-to-rent, student and healthcare transactions in Q3, bringing the year-to-date investment total to £10.3bn. This is a 47% rise from the £2bn invested Q3 2021, as investors seek scale through larger deals, reflecting bigger assets, portfolios and higher values.
Investors across the combined living sectors funded 19,000 homes and beds in Q3 and 63,800 in over 200 deals in 2022. Further transactions in legals and under offer would see this rise over the £13.8bn record of 2021.
