- blind bidding without viewing way over rental level

This is absolutely right.
@Victoria_Spratt
spot on. The starting point is bucket loads more social housing and that then flows out. We rent, in two months time we have 2 months to move out if the landlord wants. It took us 3 months to get our place last year….
@TheNewsAgents
🏠 A perfect storm…
Lower income renters unable to access social housing, pushed into private sector.
Wealthier renters can't afford a mortgage.
120,000 ⬆️ in the UK rental market since 2022.
Not enough housing in areas most needed.
