Private renting has grown across every UK region over the last 40 years, but the scale and pace are often misunderstood. This graphic shows how uneven that growth has been, shaped largely by the decline in social housing. Understanding this shift helps explain today’s housing balance and the choices ahead.

Over the past three years, the number of homes for sale has surged dramatically, far outpacing the national rise. Yet, despite the increase, supply remains tighter than in past downturns. With more choice for buyers, success now depends on smart, realistic pricing that stands out in a competitive market.

Many would-be buyers hesitate, waiting for calmer times before taking the plunge. Yet history shows that waiting often costs more than acting. While renters lose money monthly, owners build equity and stability. The market rewards time, not timing—progress starts the moment you buy.
