The regions of the UK have overtaken London in the number of build to rent properties being created for the first time ever, according research released by the British Property Federation.

There are now 124,037 homes that have been built, are under construction or in planning across the UK, according to the BPF research, drawing on data from property firm Savills.

London has been outstripping the rest of the country, until now.  The new research reveals that over the past year the regions have just edged ahead of the capital, with 62,021 homes built or in various stages of development compared to 62,016 in the capital since the build-to-rent scheme began in 2013.
