Richard Berridge MIRPM

I’ve spent 46 years in real estate, specialising in residential investment. During that time, I’ve worked across almost every stage of the investment lifecycle—from acquisition and development to operations, asset management and disposal.

My experience also spans agency, design, planning and property management. I was even involved in the early development of off-site construction, working as a consultant to a timber-frame manufacturer.

That breadth gives me a genuinely holistic understanding of residential investment and Build-to-Rent. I understand how the different parts fit together: investment strategy, design, delivery, operations and the resident experience. My focus is on making better-informed decisions, improving efficiency and performance, and creating sustainable long-term value.

I’m naturally curious and remain committed to learning. I’m particularly interested in how data, technology and new ways of thinking can help us understand assets more clearly and make better decisions. Data alone, however, is not enough. Its value comes from thoughtful analysis—the ability to turn information into clear recommendations, coherent strategies and measurable outcomes.

Great outcomes also depend on great people. I’m equally comfortable leading from the front or supporting a team by challenging assumptions, strengthening decisions and helping ideas develop. I enjoy encouraging talent and take particular satisfaction in seeing gifted people flourish.

Housing is more than an asset class. I’m deeply interested in its political, social and economic dimensions, and in the relationship between government, communities and the private sector. My ambition is to contribute to a progressive and more equitable housing market—one that combines sound investment with well-designed homes, thoughtful management and an exceptional living experience.
