The demand for rented property has never been so great with many people unable to get on the housing ladder. We have an entire generation unable to buy their own home and they now consider renting as their only option. The lettings market is very stable and almost recession proof unlike the UK property sales market which is highly cyclical, and where the market can react adversely to short term economic triggers. The 1990’s and 2000’s saw a renaissance of the private rented sector, which used to dominate UK tenure and is doing so again.

According to the latest government figures over 17% of property stock, or one in every six homes, is now within the Private Rented Sector (PRS). Current industry forecasts show that this figure is likely to rise to over 20% or one in every five homes by 2020. When converted into numbers it is clear that the impact to the ever growing lettings business market is dramatic. Since 2000 the number of properties which are privately rented has risen by 1.8 million to 3.9 million with no sign of it slowing down!
