Build-to-rent operator Quintain Living is preparing for its next phase of growth after unveiling plans to expand into third-party management, with ambitions to significantly increase the number of homes under its operational platform.
The Wembley Park landlord intends to work with institutional investors, developers and asset owners by offering access to the technology, systems and expertise it has developed over the past decade operating one of the UK’s largest professionally managed rental communities.
According to the company, the move has the potential to more than double the size of Quintain Living’s existing platform over the medium term, positioning the business as a major player in the growing operational management market within the build-to-rent sector.
Quintain Living currently manages more than 3,500 homes across Wembley Park and has developed an integrated operating model centred around technology, resident experience and hospitality-led service delivery.
The company has invested heavily in its digital infrastructure, including bespoke systems designed to streamline the resident journey from initial enquiry through to long-term occupation. These include digital viewing technology, online leasing platforms and a dedicated resident app enabling tenants to make payments, submit maintenance requests and engage with community activities.
Supporting its operational approach is a proprietary utility-monitoring system that tracks energy and water consumption in individual homes at 15-minute intervals. The data allows teams to identify unusual patterns, improve efficiency and proactively address maintenance concerns before they escalate.
Alongside technological innovation, Quintain Living has focused on creating a hospitality-inspired rental experience, supported by on-site concierge teams, maintenance professionals and community managers dedicated to enhancing resident wellbeing and satisfaction.
The announcement coincides with Quintain Living’s tenth anniversary at Wembley Park. Since launching in 2016 with a team of just seven employees, the business has expanded to more than 100 staff members and now manages a monthly rental portfolio exceeding £7.5m.
Having delivered more than 4,300 purpose-built rental homes to date, with a further 2,700 in the pipeline, Quintain believes its operational expertise can now be successfully applied beyond Wembley Park.
The move reflects a wider trend within the build-to-rent sector, where professional management, customer experience and technology-driven operations are increasingly viewed as critical factors in attracting residents, improving retention and delivering long-term value for investors.
