“I always enjoy The UKAA events. They have been fundamental to our growth within the BTR sector without a shadow of a doubt. The opportunity to educate operators and other delegates within the industry on the importance of robust tenancy reports to assist with protection of assets within the building has been very valuable. The UKAA has helped build a fantastic community between BTR professionals from suppliers, investors, operators and individual team members. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The UKAA events or online services to other professionals within the Build to Rent industry.” – Alex Gooch | Inventory Hive
