Residential property investment platform Bricklane has acquired 340 newly built single-family rental homes on behalf of its institutional capital partners for £110M.

The acquisitions span the south of England and the Midlands, while Bricklane has also started investment along the south coast, including locations such as Eastbourne, and has further concentrated acquisitions across Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire and London’s commuter belt.

Activity has also remained strong in Midlands markets including Solihull and Loughborough, the company said.

The portfolio predominantly comprises two-, three- and four-bedroom houses targeted at the midmarket, and all homes hold an energy performance certificate of A or B.

The majority of transactions during the second half of 2025 were completed with major UK housebuilders, including Barratt, Vistry and Persimmon, alongside a growing proportion of bulk acquisitions from smaller regional developers, Bricklane said. Acquisitions included forward-funding and forward-commit structures.

Bricklane said it underwrote more than £5B in 2025 of what it described as potential new-build acquisition opportunities, and it pledged to broaden its geographic footprint across the UK this year, supported by “significant capital available for deployment and a strong pipeline of opportunities sourced directly from housebuilders.”

Around 18 months ago, Bricklane doubled its geographic footprint by expanding into the north-west of England. In 2021, it partnered with fund manager Moorfield Group in a £600M venture targeting the rental market, with plans to create a portfolio of 2,000 managed homes for rent from existing housing stock through Bricklane’s proprietary technology platform Compass.

“Our recent acquisitions have further demonstrated the scalability of our single-family rental strategy, both in terms of capital deployed and the breadth of locations in which we are now investing,” Bricklane CEO and founder Simon Heawood said in a statement.

“With significant capital to deploy and an increasingly broad opportunity set across both new-build and retrofit strategies, we are entering 2026 with strong momentum and a clear line of sight on continued growth,” he added.
