Demand for Rental Property Outstripping Supply

Latest research from the Association of Residential Lettings Agents have released 74% of its members reported that there were more prospective tenants than properties available - a figure that jumps to 82% in central London.This is a huge difference to two years ago when the comparative UK figure was only 10%, and 8% in central London.The private rental market is the largest is has ever been, this is reassuring news for landlords and letting agents with more people relying on the rental market. Ian Potter, operations manager of ARLA, said: "To work towards a solution, Government needs to look seriously at ways of incentivising investment into the PRS to increase the number of properties available for rent. At the same time, it needs to look at ways of regulating what is becoming an increasingly popular housing option, so that consumers and landlords are protected from issues such as loss of rent monies and deposits as well as defaults on mortgage and rental payments." Due to the lack of options, current tenants holding on to what they have got and are renewing tenancies and rents are increasing both ideal outcomes for landlords.
