It’s fine, competition between landlords will bring it down.

London is open.
Unless your salary is below £50,000, then you can shit off.
what’s more shocking is those north west rents, they are nominally up more than London
They are just pricing more and more people out of London at this rate. Those on minimum wage are just going to be forced out and have to use more of their limited money to commute even further than ever. The London market is going to be unsustainable very soon and then what? Landlords are not going to want to rent to people who have no chance in hell of affording insane rents.
I’m living with my old folks, fuck this makesomecuntricher bullshit.
Land Lords rubbing hands together with evil laughter
Can someone explain to me how people work in lower paid jobs, then? If shops need staff how is it they find them? Nothing makes sense.
Probably a good place to mention the fact that *tenants unions are a thing and you should absolutely join one.*
Really there should be One Big Union to join but ACORN haven’t posted anything since 2020.
Just live in a tent like half the city seems to be doing at the minute. What a fucking disgrace this country is.
Madness, particularly as lots of people have moved out of London.
Fudal Britain continues.
Dark ages to 2022.
Same system.
Peasents did not pick up their pitch forks.
The story continues.
London landlords should brace themselves for rental voids this year.
I’m putting the rental price up as I’ve had to get to landlord license…
It’ll just probably mean more people will move from London to Kent and make it harder for locals to buy property because what a Londoner views as reasonable, is viewed as fucking pricey. I read an article the other day that, admittly, was on the metro thus lacks the worth but it was featuring someone who moved from London to my town and they thought that £700 a month for a flat is a decent price. For a flat. Most locals wouldn’t pay that as it’s too much for a single flat and that £900 out of their income is reasonable for their own space. It turns out it wasn’t a londoner as i’ve just checked the article but fuck me, £900 is deemed reasonable!?
And with the great diaspora from London driven by increase prices and rise in WFH, these prices will go up and up all over the country in other places like Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester, Liverpool etc . New flats will be build and old ones renovated to accommodate the people escaping London. Cheap to those leaving the capitol but out of reach of local people.
Im not blaming them for leaving (I did a few years ago). But everything will rise to be “like London prices”.
PSA: check your tenancy agreement. If you are on a rolling contract (rather than fixed term lease) you are not obliged to accept increases from the landlord and they cannot evict you for doing so.
Moving out of London to commute for exactly this reason. I can save £1000.
If every one that rents, doesn’t pay the increase, what could happen, if the court can’t handle the influx of court cases.
Already happened to me unfortunately. Was a bit of a kicker after the gas news.
If my next rental contract is only 1k extra then I’ll be stoked. Expecting double that frankly
As someone who doesn’t live in London this begs the age old question of why does anyone want to live there?
And don’t say its because London has this, that or the other when we all know that not being to afford this that or the other is the price of living in London. The question is why on earth would anyone want to live with that price?
And the British government is out here taxing us at a 23% increase compared to last year and sending that money over to Ukraine for a proxy war no one wants or truly gives a shit about.
Welcome to Nazified London. Where everything is just worse and worse for the people born here. Perfectly fine for the Europeans who come here.
