Pioneers in the sector for over a decade, Sigma recognised the opportunity for the creation of an institutionally backed single family rental sector to respond to the ever increasing pressures in the UK housing market. Pressures brought about by a stalled planning system resulting in years of underbuilding, upward pressure on demand and an exodus of traditional buy to let investors disillusioned by the increasing costs of entry and ownership in the sector. Under its Simple Life brand, Sigma has led the SFR market with its understanding of the depth of market and sectoral advantages rental housing possess, particularly relating to the wide ranging appeal of its product across income, age and familial brackets.

Through its well established BTR platform, Sigma has demonstrated the predictability and low risk income which is generated through the creation of SFR neighbourhoods. Its tenure blind, for sale specification homes are indistinguishable from those homes for sale on the same developments, provide accelerated income and return on capital for our housebuilding partners, whilst at the same time demonstrating strong operational performance with occupancy levels in the high 90%’s and LFL rental growth better than peers. The ability to scale and leverage is strong as both dual and tri tenure developments become the favoured way of delivering homes at pace to meet the upward pressure on demand.
Sigma’s single family offering includes 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes in locations across the UK, from Scotland to Devon. All neighbourhoods are carefully selected, offering a plethora of existing amenity on our customers’ doorstep from healthcare, to shops and supermarkets, to good local transport links, good performing local schools and close to good employment hubs.
