Call You and Yours: What's the rental market like where you live?

What's the rental market like where you live?

On today's Call You and Yours we're asking you: "What's the rental market like where you live?"

Average monthly rents outside of London have reached the milestone of £1000. That's according to the estate agents Hamptons.

It's in three areas of England: the South East, East of England and South West.

This week the Government is expected to bring its rental reform bill before MPs to help tenants. It'll abolish ‘no-fault’ evictions and introduce rolling tenancies, as well as proposing allowing tenants to have pets.

But some MPs fear it could force more landlords to sell up. More landlords are selling up as costs increase, creating even more of a shortage of homes, and driving up rents.
