Young professionals aged 25 to 34 make up the largest proportion of private renters and this is expected to remain the same in — but they will be renting for longer than now while trying to save enough to buy a home, said Diana Babacic of PRS Research Consultancy, one of the authors of the Knight Frank report.
She is also predicting slightly faster growth in the number of renters under 25, as well as an increase in older renters, especially the baby boomers. With rents rising rapidly in recent years, the key concern for tenants when looking at a rental property is affordability, the report says, although other surveys now indicate that rents are flatlining or even falling.
Tenants also pay hundreds of pounds in letting fees every time they move. Buy-to-let landlords have dominated the market in recent years, but in the past year the introduction of extra stamp duty on second homes and the curbing of mortgage interest reliefs have prompted a number of private landlords to sell up. The main Help to Buy scheme—Equity Loans—has led to an increase in newly built owner-occupied homes in areas with less binding housing supply constraints.
This likely helped counter the persistent increase of the private rental market share at least in those areas. Despite rising real incomes, significant population growth driven by net immigration at least until the Brexit vote , and strongly growing nominal and real house prices, construction of new permanent dwellings has been decreasing dramatically since the late s, leading to a substantial housing shortfall.
Housing construction subsequently declined to fewer than , homes from onward. Residential construction reached a record low in , when fewer than , new homes were constructed. From , figures started to grow again, partly as a consequence of the economy recovery, reaching about , new homes in The continued decline in the importance of council housing is largely due to a lack of adequate public funding.
The most prominent of these measures has been the introduction of a furlough scheme with the aim to minimize mass layoffs or worse, corporate insolvencies and ultimately support the livelihoods of employees and the self-employed.
The main effect of this policy on both the owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing markets has been to keep up housing demand; it enabled owners and renters, especially those in vulnerable sectors, to continue paying their mortgages and rents.
Most COVIDrelated policy interventions focus on homeowners, in the form of transfer tax and mortgage payment holidays. On the rental side—in addition to the furlough scheme, which may predominately benefit private and social renters, as they tend to be more likely to work in hard-hit sectors such as hospitality, retail, or entertainment—the government implemented a halt on the enforcement of evictions of renters in England until at least the end of May This is in addition to the government extending the period of notice that a landlord must give to the tenant.
Even before the pandemic hit, the U. To get the homeless into safe shelters and protect them from COVID, the British government worked in collaboration with local authorities and charities to devise a plan that involved securing temporary accommodation , and included 6 million GBP of emergency funding by the government to provide relief for frontline homelessness charitable organizations.
The importance of private and social rental housing in Britain has changed dramatically over the last years. Social rental housing has been in decline since , largely as a consequence of the Right to Buy policy and a lack of public funding. While social rental housing has provided affordable and secure housing for those lucky enough to gain access, it has been in chronic undersupply.
Moreover, since the mids, housing has become increasingly unaffordable for the middle classes which do not qualify for social housing and the young. As the price of owner-occupied housing has risen even more dramatically than private rents, especially in London and the Southeast of the country, this has led to a recent revival of the private rental market, which is largely unregulated and offers little tenancy security.
Successfully tackling the housing affordability crisis in Britain would require efficiently and effectively helping those most in need e. Parts of this article are taken or adapted from previously published reports.
