Housing Minister Kris Hopkins has denied that new figures
on rising rent prices reflect the private rental market, describing the
research on 20,000 properties as "not an accurate snapshot of the private
rented sector." "The latest figures from the Office for National
Statistics confirm rents are actually falling in real terms, both in London and
across the country." He went on: "But this Government wants a bigger
and better rental market. That's why we've introduced the £1 billion Build to
Rent fund, which has already identified 45 potential schemes, alongside £10
billion of Government-backed guarantees to encourage more institutional
investment in the sector." Read more on the ITN News website.
