In 2010, we entered a three year relationship with IPD to work together to increase the profile of the Private Rented Sector; to encourage investment and demonstrate that appropriate residential asset management can drive enhanced returns.

Since 2000, IPD has been collecting, analysing and reporting on residential property performance through its Residential Index. The data is principally supplied by the large property owners, such as Cadogan Estates, Grosvenor and Grainger. The results not only focus on returns but also analyse costs of running the portfolios, including digging down into the detail and showing some great comparisons with other asset classes.

One of the most striking conclusions is not only that residential property returns tend to outperform other assets classes but also that their risk profile is lower than most other asset classes as well.
