"The convenience of international travel means that our modern lifestyle often involves trips overseas, whether for business or pleasure. "
The firm says that with London's airports serving such a wide range of destinations, those travelling overseas for both work and pleasure are looking to ensure that their homes remain safe while empty and for many, a purposefully designed Build to Rent home is the answer.
As well as frequent travellers, flight crew in the area have to regularly leave their homes unoccupied whilst at work, so security is a particularly important issue.
New purposely-designed Build to Rent developments have features such as gated entrances and an on-site concierge and management team.
Many also include tenancies of up to three years in length, low deposits (just one month's rent). pet-friendly homes, and dry cleaning services.
Hayley Wills, area manager at be:here Hayes, said: "Today's housing schemes have to think carefully about the needs of their residents, particularly as the convenience of international travel means that our modern lifestyle often involves trips overseas, whether for business or pleasure. This is even more true for developments that are within reach of international airports, as easy travel abroad is often a key benefit for those living there.
"Build to Rent is well positioned to serve those who need to lock up and leave their homes regularly. Here in Hayes, The Gatefold Building is ideally located for London Heathrow, so all those who use the airport for work or travel are able to benefit from the security that a contemporary Build to Rent development provides."
