Priorities Change For Renters

Priorities Change For Renters

In this quick article we look at how tenants priorities have changed since the pandemic

  • Priorities have changed for over a quarter of tenants following the pandemic, according to The Property Academy Tenant Survey 2020.
  • The Survey, based on 14,000 tenants, found that over two thirds of tenants said affordability (68%) and a garden (67%) had become more important than they were pre-lockdown.
  • With the government encouraging working from home, it is no surprise that 63% of tenants said broadband speed was more important and 61% said space to work from home was more important.
  • Landlords should consider renters priorities, for example; assisting access to fast broadband, providing office furniture, and assessing rental values could help keep tenants happy. Source: Dataloft, Property Academy

The "Generation Rent" narrative is shifting. New data shows under-35 homeownership jumped from 31% to 42% in a decade, while it actually fell for those aged 35-64. While affordability is still a hurdle, the dream of owning a home is far from dead for the youth. Is "Generation Rent" getting older? We explore the changing property landscape.

Bungalows are enjoying something of a renaissance in Attleborough. Once dismissed as homes for later life, these single-storey properties are attracting downsizers, families and increasingly younger buyers. But is this simply a lifestyle shift, or are the numbers telling us something more significant about Attleborough’s property market?
