Usual house price bollocks. I thought this bit was quite telling though:
Separately, new data has revealed that the average monthly rent on a newly let home in Britain fell to £986 in June. This was down 0.7% on June 2019, when the figure was £992, and marked the first annual fall since February 2014, Hamptons International said.
London was worst hit, seeing a year-on-year fall in central boroughs that was much larger than the average: a record 7.4% (from an average of £2,790 to £2,584) as overseas students and other tenants deserted the capital during lockdown.
How awful that a house can now be rented for a mere £2584.
