New build flats to rent in London offer a modern alternative to traditional rental properties, combining contemporary design, energy-efficiency, and professionally managed living. These developments are often in well-connected areas and are designed to meet the needs of long-term renters.
This page features curated new build rental developments across London, including homes that are available now as well as schemes launching soon. With new developments added regularly, this page provides an up-to-date overview of some of London’s most sought-after new rental properties.
New build flats are designed around modern rental living, offering contemporary layouts, high-quality finishes, and energy-efficient construction. Compared to older housing, they usually provide better insulation, lower running costs, and spaces that suit how people live and work today.
Many new build developments are professionally managed and include shared amenities such as co-working spaces, resident lounges, gyms, landscaped courtyards, and concierge services, all contributing to a more convenient and well-maintained living environment.
Location is another key advantage. New build flats are often part of wider regeneration projects, placing residents close to transport links, employment hubs, and emerging neighbourhoods. This combination of connectivity, lifestyle amenities, and modern design continues to drive strong demand across London’s new rental developments.
New build flats can be more expensive in some locations. For many renters, the higher rent is offset by modern finishes, lower ongoing costs, and access to on-site amenities.
This depends on the development. Some new build apartments are furnished, some unfurnished, and others have flexible options. This is usually stated in the listing, but can also be confirmed with the lettings agent.
New build refers to the age of the property, while build to rent describes a specific ownership and management model. Some new build flats are part of build to rent developments, while others are privately owned rental homes within new developments.
A new build flat is typically a newly constructed home that has not been previously occupied. However, in rental terms, the phrase is also commonly used to describe properties that, while not brand new, continue to offer contemporary layouts, specifications, and amenities.
Speak with a rental specialist to explore current availability, upcoming launches, and new build developments as they are released.
