The National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA) has launched a new service aimed at portfolio landlords, Build to Rent operators and property investors.
Called NRLA Living, the platform will be unveiled at UKREiiF today in partnership with Bidwells. It is designed to provide market data, operational guidance and regulatory support for landlords and businesses managing large-scale rental portfolios.
The service targets professional landlords, institutional investors, funders and property firms dealing with increasingly complex compliance requirements and operating costs in the private rented sector.
According to the NRLA, subscribers will receive analysis and guidance intended to help manage risk, improve efficiency and support long-term investment decisions. The organisation said the service is focused on landlords and operators overseeing large or expanding portfolios.
Ben Beadle, Chief Executive of the National Residential Landlords Association, said: “The PRS is undergoing once in a generation reforms, and the acute shortage of rented homes is creating significant issues for tenants.
“Traditional private landlords are pivotal to the future of the PRS and central to the NRLA’s mission, but we recognise the need for a diversity of offer if we are to meet demand.
“The launch of NRLA Living to support portfolio landlords and institutional investors with NRLA’s sector leading advice, compliance support, market intelligence and a voice that champions responsible landlords of all kinds, comes at a critical moment for the PRS – and at a time when government most needs landlords to have confidence, to help them solve the housing challenges now and in the future.”
Iain Murray, partner and head of operational living at Bidwells, commented: “Institutional‑backed residential portfolios at scale are becoming increasingly important to the UK’s housing mix, but operators, investors and businesses are facing unprecedented regulatory and operational complexity. NRLA Living arrives at exactly the right moment, giving large‑scale landlords, Investors and Build to Rent operators the clarity, insight and practical support they need to run efficient, compliant and resilient portfolios.
“At Bidwells, we see first‑hand how vital high‑quality data and informed guidance are to making confident long‑term investment decisions. Partnering with the NRLA on this new service means we can help accelerate the evolution of the UK’s operational living sector and support the organisations delivering the homes our communities urgently need.”
