Figures from lettings agency Countrywide reveals a
significant increase in the number of tenants aged over 50 living in private
rented accommodation. Between April and June, the report says that the rise in
the number of over 50s renting properties in East of England and East Midlands
was up three per cent year-on-year, followed by Wales
and London up
two per cent. The figures come as the Government's English Housing Survey shows
that around one in three homeowners in England are pensioners and
homeownership has dropped to its lowest level since the 1980s. Read more on the Countrywide website.
