NRLA Living

Helping institutional residential investors, developers and operators manage, grow, and de-risk their portfolios.

Since May 2026, the Renters' Rights Act has placed institutional operators and private landlords under the same tenancy law, rent increase mechanism and ombudsman.

The NRLA has been navigating this landscape for decades. NRLA Living brings that expertise directly to the institutional sector, combining policy authority with operational support and market intelligence from Bidwells.

Hands-on operational expertise.

Institutional market insight.

Clarity on the market, and the support to act on it

NRLA Living is a membership for institutional residential operators and investors. It is built around two things: helping you stay ahead of policy and regulatory change, and supporting your teams to handle operational and compliance challenges consistently and efficiently.

For operators and managers, it means expert support resolving tenancy, regulatory and compliance issues quickly and consistently, practical frameworks, regulatory updates and on-demand training led by our Renters' Rights Act course.

Exclusive market intelligence and data - including monthly City Insights reports and an Open and Operating map showing every BTR scheme in the country - support sharper decisions throughout.

Trusted by leading Build-to-Rent operators and investors

Bidwells has provided development consultancy services across our platform. We enjoy a close working relationship and Bidwells leading position as advisor on our exciting portfolio of Build to Rent developments. We would highly recommend the Bidwells team as a trusted advisor.

Bidwells provided us support and direction from early inception and throughout the planning stages of our BTR project. They suited our ways of working and provided well-researched, high-quality recommendations that met and supported the immediate and long-term goals of the scheme and our company. We consider it a pleasure to have worked with Bidwells and would recommend them for prospective BTR investors, developers and local authorities.

Bidwells insight has massively increased the core data available to industry.
