London’s private rental sector is going through a long overdue transformation. One company that has played a major role in that is Southwark-headquartered Get Living, which recently marked the 10-year anniversary since beginning to turn the former Athletes’ Village at the Olympic Park into a new large-scale neighbourhood that is today home to more than 6,500 residents and a raft of independent shops and restaurants.
CEO Rick de Blaby is in a reflective mood as he recalls the progress over the past decade: “We really set about making the transaction of renting a home so much more easy than it was before.”
