The survey found that:

There is support in the House for the ‘Build to rent’ sector and its contribution to housing supply. A majority of MPs (81%) voice their support, while only one in seven (14%) say they oppose.
Around three in five MPs (62%) say they expect ‘Build to rent’ to make a higher contribution to housing supply over the next five years than it does so currently.
