At least £75 billion of investment will be committed to the private rented sector (PRS) by 2025, according to the latest research from Knight Frank. The Multihousing report revealed the key trends that are set to dominate the private rented sector along with insights from tenants and investors. Tenant survey Conducted for Knight Frank by YouGov, the Tenant Survey reflects the views of 5,000 people living in the private rented sector across the UK. For the first time, the survey also includes 5,000 homeowners in order to draw conclusions on the differences between homeowners and renters. It found that 35 to 49-year-olds have now overtaken young professionals (aged 25-34) as the largest group living in the PRS. This age group is also expected to show the biggest growth in households in the PRS over the coming years, with difficulty in obtaining a mortgage deposit to buy a home remaining a significant hurdle. When choosing a property, affordability remains the key priority for 61% of tenants.
