Yardi has joined the UK Single-Family Association (UK SFA), the membership organisation for the single-family rental sector across the UK.
More than £1bn was invested in the single-family sector in the UK last year and the UK SFA has been formed to ‘recognise the distinct benefits and challenges that investing and operating in the sector brings’.
Richard Berridge, CEO for the UK SFA, said: “The role of the UK SFA is to support all stakeholders to build more homes to rent. In turn, this will result in the delivery of more homes, of all tenures, for more people right across the UK. We’re delighted to have Yardi Systems, a global leader in residential real estate software, join the UK SFA. We know this partnership will help us achieve our goals and be at the forefront of technological innovation.”
Justin Harley, regional director for Yardi, added: “Joining the UK SFA is an important initiative for us to further support the sector in the UK. We work with a number of SFR operators today, including Placefirst and Leaf Living. The overall demand for housing in the UK remains very high and SFR is growing quickly throughout the country. We look forward to working with the UK SFA as we believe the single-family rental sector will provide an important source of housing for the market.”
