Which is a sad point really...everyone should be entitled to a home whether rented or owned. It shouldn't depend on whether you can afford it or not. All personal wealth should dictate is what size home you have.

What is really annoying is the number of ex-council houses I've seen up for rent from private landlords which cost like 2 or 3 times the cost to rent than if you were getting them from the council. It's exploitation really isn't it? :frown:


In my local area, you'll be hard pressed to find a house (even a ridiculously small one) for under £1000pcm and single rooms can often cost £400pcm.

Perhaps they don't need to but that won't stop me buying several in the future for personal use ( although not all in the UK necessarily) and more if the buy to let market remains lucrative :smile:

Tell that to the hundreds or thousands of people on waiting lists for council houses.


There's a shortage of council houses but not houses to rent. The private sector provides most houses to rent.
