The portfolio is concentrated in supply-constrained London submarkets, supported by strong underlying rental demand and favourable long-term market fundamentals.<\/p>\n<p>\nCommenting on the transaction, <b>Shamik Narotam, Managing Director at Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing, <\/b>said: \u201cWe are pleased to acquire Metra Living, a high-quality, scaled platform in one of Europe\u2019s most supply-constrained residential markets. This investment reflects our conviction in the long-term growth of the UK private rented sector, supported by structural demand for professionally managed rental housing. We look forward to building on the platform\u2019s strong foundation and continuing to deliver high-quality homes and services to residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>George Bossom, Partner at Ridgeback,<\/b> said: \u201cWe are delighted to complete this acquisition with MSREI. This investment further reinforces our conviction in the UK PRS sector, where strong structural demand and a continued shortage of high-quality rental housing support attractive long-term fundamentals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Fiona Fletcher-Smith, Group Chief Executive at L&amp;Q<\/b><b>said<\/b>, \u201cThe sale of Metra Living is a key milestone in delivering our long-term strategy, and we\u2019re extremely pleased to have reached this agreement with MSREI. We\u2019re proud to have grown a successful PRS business since 2015, but we have a clear strategy to simplify our business and focus on our core purpose as a social housing provider. This sale further strengthens our financial resilience, supporting our long-term drive to invest in new and existing homes across Greater London and Greater Manchester.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe acquisition is consistent with MSREI\u2019s strategy of investing in high-quality residential platforms in leading urban markets, where strong demand dynamics and limited supply support long-term income growth.<\/p>\n<p>\nL&amp;Q will continue to provide freeholder services to PRS homes leased within its buildings.<\/p>\n<p>\nMSREI and Ridgeback were advised by Savills, Clifford Chance and Gowling.
