London is home to the largest number of renters in the country. Renting has become a firmly established way of life for many and has transformed the housing market throughout the capital. It is predicted that an additional 1.1 million people will begin renting properties over the course of the next five years. Almost 30% of London’s residents are renters, and research shows that almost half of all 25 to 30 year olds fully expect renting to become the usual way of life in the future. The phenomenal shift to private renting seems a long way away from the nation’s previous emotional attachment to property ownership, but the reality is that the UK rental market is here to stay.
The typical age for marriage has crept up from 27 in the 1980s to a national average of 37 today. There have also been many changes in employment patterns. An increasing number of people are switching careers and locations much more frequently now. The rental market in London is also being driven by a record number of students in further education as well as a higher rate of divorcees. Renting in the UK was a comfortable option up until the 60s, and its resurgence has been considerably boosted by altering lifestyles and generations with different aims and ambitions. All of these factors put a premium on flexibility and make it easier for people to rent centrally in the capital.
