Partners Nikita Asher and James Huckstep have contributed to Ackroyd Lowrie Architects' The How-to Handbook for Co-Living 2026.
The How-to Handbook for Co-Living 2026 brings together leading experts from across the residential sector to provide practical guidance on delivering successful co-living developments in the UK. Combining the latest market data with planning, legal, investment and operational expertise, the report explores the opportunities and challenges facing the rapidly growing sector, from planning and design through to investment, management and the impact of recent legislative change.
Nikita and James contributed a chapter examining how the Renters' Rights Act 2025 will affect co-living developments. Their contribution considers the implications of the new tenancy regime for developers, investors and operators, including the abolition of assured shorthold tenancies, the legal status of occupation agreements, and the practical considerations for structuring and operating co-living schemes under the new framework.
