National says build to rent housing should be playing a larger part in the New Zealand housing market.

\\n

The party has announced plans to fast-track legislation for build to rent housing.

\\n

It would amend the Overseas Investment Act, making it easier for foreign developers to invest in the market

\\n

Build-to-rent developments would also be eligible for depreciation deductions.

\\n

Housing spokesperson Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking it\'s not a silver bullet, but it has a role to play.

\\n

He says 25,000 new dwellings could be built over the next ten years if National wins the election and gets its settings correct.
