The Group operates in the residential private rented sector (PRS), with an emphasis on Central London.  The residential sector has several sub-categories, including PRS, which was K&C's original focus, retirement residential, residential care and social housing.  K&C's operations in the market broadened following the acquisition of K&C (Osprey) to include the retirement residential sub-category in London and the southeast of the UK.
