Rent Rises Could Soon Outpace House Prices

The cost of renting in the UK could rise faster than house prices over the next five years, surveyors have warned. At the end of that period tenants could find themselves having to pay at least 25% more than they do now, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics). According to Rics estimates, house prices will increase by 6% next year, and rents by 3%. Over the longer term, the Rics survey suggests rents could rise by an average of 5% each year for the next five years. House prices, it predicts, could rise by 4.7% a year.  Read more on the RICS website.
