鈥檚 UK affordable housing strategy has expanded its portfolio with three single-family housing transactions.

PGIM is acquiring 73 new homes in Littlehampton, West Sussex, and is expanding the portfolio with two additional acquisitions in Exeter, Devon, and St Austell, Cornwall. Financial details of the transactions were not disclosed.

PGIM Real Estate鈥檚 UK affordable housing strategy acquires and operates single-family rental homes at affordable rents, providing housing for working families and co-renters.

Since its December 2020 launch, the strategy has invested over 拢310m (鈧371m) across 31 housing schemes, delivering approximately 1,800 homes. Most of the portfolio is completed and occupied.

Oscar Kingsbury, portfolio manager for the strategy, said: 鈥淎t a time when UK residential total returns have strengthened and are forecast to grow into 2025, these transactions further diversify the strategy鈥檚 existing portfolio, which aims to deliver long-term, resilient returns for its investors. 

鈥淯K residential remains at the top of many investor鈥檚 allocation wish lists for 2025. This is no great surprise, given the market dynamics that exist. However, we feel that investors should also be focussing on the affordability of residential rents and the sustainability of future rental growth.鈥
