Tenant behaviour has been evolving in response to increased demand, soaring rental costs and a scarcity of available rental properties. Below is our observation:



Escalating rental prices have tightened tenants’ finances, compelling them to investigate more budget-friendly alternatives in areas further from their preferred locations.



A deficiency in purpose-built student housing has led students to seek options in the private sector, contributing to the rise in rental rates.



Young individuals are extending their stays with their parents to accumulate savings for a down payment on a house, thus postponing the introduction of new renters into the market. Some even bypass renting entirely and choose to purchase a home.



Escalating rental costs and spiralling house prices have prolonged the duration required to save for a deposit. On average, it presently necessitates a decade to save for a deposit in the UK, causing an increasing number of first-time buyers in larger cities to be in their forties.

Looking to reshape your residence with sustainability as a focus?

Here are a some simple pointers to assist you in the process:



1. Purchase pre-owned furniture

Looking to adorn your home with antique pieces without breaking the bank? Opt for second hand furniture! Not only can you discover distinctive tables, chairs, artwork, and more at a fraction of their new cost, but you’re also extending the lifespan of existing furniture.



2. Transform your bathroom into an environmentally conscious space.

You can achieve effective cleaning in your bathroom without resorting to bleach and other harmful detergents that pose a risk to the ecosystem. Brands like Bio D offer eco-friendly bathroom cleaning solutions packaged in recycled materials that are refillable.



3. Direct your attention to major household appliances.

While replacing your current appliances isn’t an option, there are steps you can implement to enhance their efficiency. Roughly 90% of a washing machine’s energy consumption is attributed to heating water, so choose cold cycles when viable. When it comes to your dryer, ensure the lint trap is clean to optimise drying duration.



In the kitchen, avoid overcrowding your refrigerator, as obstructed airflow hampers its energy performance. As for your dishwasher, a method to curtail energy usage involves halting the cycle after washing, opening the door, and allowing the dishes to air-dry.
