Private renters are showing signs of middle aged spread,
with nearly half of them now aged over 46, according to a survey from Your
Move. The survey found that 18% of renters were over the age of 55, with
another 22% of tenants belonging to the 46-55 age group. Just 39% of those in

18-25 year olds claimed they were satisfied with renting, with 80% wanting to
own their own home in the future.These numbers reversed for those aged 55 and
above. Read more on the Housing Excellence website.
