Record migration has pushed up rents across the UK and contributed to the affordability crisis in the sector, the boss of Zoopla has said.
Richard Donnell, executive director of Zoopla, said record net migration was compounding pressure on rents at a time when many landlords were leaving the sector.
It comes after figures published by the Office for National Statistics last week showed that net migration reached a record 745,000 in 2022. In the two years to June, nearly 1.3m people immigrated to the UK.
Mr Donnell said renting was the “first port of call” for those moving to the country, although some eventually buy their own home. He estimated that as many as nine in ten of people coming to the UK were “in the rental market initially.”
The surge of migrants seeking out accommodation has coincided with record growth in rents. Rents across the UK have increased by a record 8.4pc in the year to October, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said on Friday.
Surging rents have contributed to a rise in homelessness and the situation has been dubbed a crisis by charities because of increasingly stretched affordability.
Mr Donnell said: “We have a triple whammy on the demand side, one element of which is migration.”
A strong jobs market is also fuelling demand as more people move for work, Mr Donnell said, while high interest rates have also kept many people in the rental market for longer than usual as they are priced out of buying.
Office for Budget Responsibility economist David Miles backed up Mr Donnell’s suggestion that migration was playing a part in rapidly climbing rates.
He told the Telegraph: “It may be that recent high rates of increase in rents is linked to population increase and to fast growth in student numbers. It would be strange if that was not a factor.“
263,000 students moved to the UK in the year to June 2023. ONS figures show that international students accounted for two fifths of people arriving from outside the EU in the year to June.
Mr Donnell said: “A lot of international students have come into the UK which is fine, but there is not enough purpose-built student accommodation. And so you get an overspill of that student demand into the private rented sector.”
Aneisha Beveridge, head of research at Hamptons International, said: “They are most likely to settle in University towns and cities across the country and are most likely to rent.”
Ms Beveridge said that only in exceptional circumstances do students’ parents purchase a property, “although this is still fairly common in Prime Central London for the wealthiest families.”
In London, the fall in migration during Covid was one of the reasons “why rents dropped so much during that time”, according to Ms Beveridge.
She said: “The opening up of borders and travel also coincided with the rental recovery in the capital. However, some of this was domestically driven too as people working from home returned back into offices.”
Claims that overseas renters are fuelling Britain’s affordability crisis will raise pressure on Rishi Sunak to lower migration, with the record numbers sparking a backlash from the right of the Tory Party.
The added pressure from high immigration comes at a time when the supply of homes to rent is also under pressure.
Regulatory and tax changes have made buy-to-let investments less lucrative, meaning fewer new investors are entering the sector and existing landlords are selling up.
One in ten houses advertised on Zoopla are sold by a landlord, Mr Donnell said.
He added: “The total number of private rented homes in this country is stuck at 5.5m and it has been for the last seven years.”

Will this subreddit be sick of experts now, I wonder?
It made me so mad the other day seeing a homeless man shivering in the snowy cold, whilst others are being funded by the tax payer and are here illegally being put up.
For those living in urban centres, Chinese students are the harbingers of death.
As soon as they move in, everything is about to become 4 times more expensive and the services you use as going to bought up to be made into flats or services that they use.
But simultaneously, I don’t blame them, not as individuals. Our governments and councils should be taking steps to ensure that our way of life isn’t being wiped out for the sake of these students who are basically a economic requirement for major cities at this point in this post brexit economic wasteland.
Free market is once again failing us miserably. Sure we could stop letting them in, but who’s going to fill the gapeing economic hole they leave and what will we do about the loss of spending power?
Even if you want a fair amount of immigration, surely you agree that we need some periods of lower inmigration to help us digest the hundreds of thousands of recent arrivals?
No anything else they would like the point out as bloody obvious.
No waaayyy. Importing a load of people who need places to live puts pressure on housing stock. Wooow.
Population increase equivalent to large city every year puts strain on already crumbling housing sector.

Taking back control of our borders. Who’d have thought?
I am very much pro-immigration, let them all in I used to say but this is getting silly. If we won’t build housing, we must limit the influx of people. It’s just counting.
I have never seen so many working families in desperate need of affordable homes. I’m in the bcp area and everyday there is a fb post asking for help. It’s almost £1600 to rent a 3 bedroom home. I’m looking to downsize to a 2 bed but people are wanting 6 months rent up front and are asking £1300 for a 2 bed flat. I used to pay £600 10 years ago for a 2 bed and £850 for a 3 bed. Wtf happened.
Halt immigration, build homes and infrastructure, assimilate migrants we’ve already taken in. Then and only then can should we be taking in more.
Or….low house building numbers are fuelling the country’s rental crisis.
Boy I’m sure glad Brexit and getting control of our borders fixed this
“Person representing Landlords tells people to blame immigrants for high rents rather than Landlords.”
I love how people seem to believe deporting all the migrants will magically make Landlords less greedy. Landlords aren’t going to cut their rates if a portion of their tenants in their lower end properties are forced out, they’ll keep charging the same rents because people need homes and are going to spend most of their money to have some form of shelter anyway.
But I’m sure all those investment properties are being held by some Indian bloke living in a hotbedding situation making money working for Deliveroo and not someone who has shares in Zoopla and has friends who write in the Telegraph.
Oh really? I thought it was decades of deliberate lack of building new housing so to help jack up house prices and rents for land owning Tories that’s causing the issue? Yet again blaming immigrants for the failures of gov. Other countries have much higher migration numbers yet aren’t in a similar situation…hmm I wonder why?
A lot more people competing for a little more houses results in stress on the housing sector.
Well paint me surprised! Who knew!
I see on the news that salary threshold will increase… But this doesn’t impact people that illegal migrants or migrant families here from one person’s work (i.e. someone earning 24k and bringing a family of 5 over)
I have a great idea about limiting the legal migration!
Lets keep the low paid jobs for British folk and only bring in migrants for the better paid jobs.
BINGO instant classic.
Nah the Telegraph unsurprisingly wants to stir shit. In fact the cause of it is the lack of social and affordable housing, not migrants who don’t own property in the UK.
Furthermore, “[Landlords have passed on higher mortgage repayments via rent hikes to an estimated 9.2 million tenants. Over 50 percent of landlords in England have a buy-to-let mortgage, with figures from UK Finance showing 2 million are outstanding, with 230,000 about to exit cheaper fixed-rate deals between March 2023 and March 2024.”](https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/07/17/hyvb-j17.html)
I swear it was never great but these past couple year’s, this sub’s concept of nuance has gone completely down the toilet. Immigration isn’t the worst thing ever that needs to stop immediately, nor is it the perfect solution that has no flaws.
There’s benefits and drawbacks, dependent on the situation, it’s all relative. Not everyone critical of the current level of migration is a foaming racist and it absolutely does have it’s drawbacks. Also, funny to see the amount of users pointing out that there’s no single cause, yet will mindlessly go “BUILD MORE HOUSES!” as if the solution is that easy in comparison.
Also, repeating somebody’s point with poor spelling to show your “intellectual superiority” doesn’t mean shit, no matter how you spell “immurgrents”
I thought it was because we aren’t building enough houses? That was the line a few years back?
This is obvious. Those leaning left on this sub see that as acceptable. Those leaning right see it as unacceptable.
The funny thing is the right leaning government allowed it.
But right voters don’t want it. And left voters do want it. So odd.
An article blaming housing crisis on immigrants written by the daily telegraph. Nah not even reading this bullshit anymore.
Housing crisis was caused by Margaret Thatcher selling off council houses, not building new houses to replace them, rich foreign investors buying property as assets and leaving them empty for years, and just general greedy landlords artificially inflating prices because they can and the gov won’t introduce caps because they’re all in it together.
More migrants coming into the country need more housing, yes. But they aren’t a root cause of the problem.
And here I was thinking it was 40 years of record low private and social housing construction while our demographics were being propped up almost entirely by immigration as wage stagnation and inflation made it less and less appealing to have kids here without an astonishing income, resulting in a situation in which we are dependent on immigration to maintain a working age population while also not being able to house people adequately and the upper crust gets to run away with ever more lucrative property portfolios and capital continues to accumulate.
But yeah it’s definitely the Great Replacement, that’s totally the reason, yeah, uh huh.
Can I ask a genuine question, why do so many of you fight tooth and nail to protect mass immigration? Are you paid to defend it? Otherwise why do you believe Europe should have to take care of foreigners more then their own citizens? Why is immigration (of all things) the hill you’re willing to die on?
I’m in a bit of an interesting position as I (24 M US) am here in the UK because I am married to a Brit. So while I actually agree that migration is a huge issue here, I selfishly would like not to be kicked out. I plan to have and raise kids here, assimilate into the culture and pay my fair share into the system, as I think that is my duty as an immigrant.
What I find interesting is that if the Labour Party were actually the party of the working class still, they would oppose high immigration because it tightens housing supply, suppresses wages and weakens industrial organisations. But the social liberalism in the Labour party makes this view untenable, which is why I think so many working class Brits moved to the Tories (and voted Brexit).
My conclusion living here is that the UK never recovered from 09. People are paid stupid low wages and taxed horrendously for them. Housing is expensive and of bad quality. There seems to be no meaningful middle class as I knew it in the US. I see no incentive to apply any drive or ambition. Inherited wealth is the only viable path to economic security. Normal people are forced to get endless certificates, degrees and qualifications with almost no reward for their effort.
My wife and I struggled to find a flat, and while we like it, it’s crazy expensive compared to our salaries. We are luckily in a position to make it work. I can’t imagine people in more challenging circumstances. Every flat we applied to had at least 30 applications already.
I think one of the biggest problems is that young people don’t have kids here. If they do they have them late and have one or two. There is no next generation of Brits to take care of the economy and provide for an aging Boomer generation. It’s quite a crisis. And I think it’s why migration will be an issue here for a long time.
“Greedy landlord fuelling Britain’s rental crisis”
Fixed It for ya.
I mean surely the fact that house prices have outstripped wage increases, enormously too little new housing being built and people unable to rent and save for a deposit is the reason rents have skyrocketed? Not the fact that 3% of migration is people in boats?
I want to see an end to illegal migration as much as the next guy but we can’t blame everything on them can we?
Price gouging, massive shortages, high interest rates and landlords being greedy cunts is closer to the reason surely?
Wow I didn’t know that, you’re telling for the first time
No. You know whose fault it is? The Government’s. For years and years (and years) of chronically underfunding house building.
The whole infrastructure of our Country cant cope with these levels of population growth.
We haven’t got enough Homes.
We haven’t got enough Doctors.
We haven’t got enough Hospitals.
You cant find an NHS Dentist.
We have no plans for increasing our Water Capacity.
We dont have plans for any power stations.
Until all the above and many more that ive not listed are sorted out, How can we sustain this level of Population increase???.
If anyone knows, I suggest you apply for a Job at Number 10 Downing Street.
Is that why as a family we can’t find a place o rent?
More people arrived in 2022 than between 1066 and 1966 combined.
If you think you can housebuild your way through that, even ignoring the effects on the social fabric of the country of headspinning demographic change, then good luck.
Serco are advertising on their website for private landlords, they’re paying over the odds so they can house migrants
The headline is very different to the quote from the Zoopla guy within the article. Do people read the articles or just post and argue based on the headline?
No, I was told by people on this sub that it’s only supply that influences house prices, not demand.
Hang on, I thought it was racist to say this?
Is it okay now?
I’ve slept outside for 4 -6 days I think years ago when I split from the missus , at the back of a supermarket under the vents to get a heat, it wasn’t fun.
We were all waiting for the scraps. I was too embarrassed to say anything to my family, we shared food. There’s a ton of knowledge nowadays to get help. I hope they reach out.
No it’s not. There are no problems, the endless waves of immigration are nothing but a possitive. House prices are perfect as they are, in fact they should probably be higher! Rent should also be higher. Wages should be lower. National security isn’t a concern and it’s completely normal to see school children stabbed. Violent knife attacks are simply an expression of creativity.
​
If you say otherwise, you’re a disgusting racist.
2.5 million people moved to London since 2015 – that’s the reason for the rental crisis even with flats springing up everywhere
So the problem the governement created and refused to do anything about it since it is an agenda no one votes on. People just getting attacked in the streets instead. Multiculturalism is the Marxist buzzword.
He hardly going to call out the sheer greed of the land leeches is he?
The government has failed us considerably and a ridiculous percentage of them are landlords.
Good news. It doesn’t go far enough and should set strict limits for temporary workers. Most people should not have the right to settle. If workers are needed in certain categories with lower incomes than the standard threshold, we make exceptions. E.g. for care workers, nurses etc.
It is time we stop throwing away our national wealth and country to total strangers with zero strings attached.

But sure, I’m sure a place with Low immigration like Japan has bottom basement prices for rents and…oh wait, [they’re as high as they were when the property bubble burst in the 1990s](https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/apartment-prices-in-tokyo-are-set-to-exceed-bubble-era-high-1.1712648).
“oooh, but ohhigchq, dah market”. The market is controlled by a load of landlords who aren’t going to take a cut to their profits.
[Meanwhile there are 261,189 empty properties in the UK](https://www.bigissue.com/news/housing/how-many-empty-homes-are-there-in-the-uk/), most of them “investment” properties in larger cities bought up by investment companies intending to sell them on when the value of an area goes up.
