'Rental Britain' here to stay

Rental misery for millions is set to continue - and will likely worsen. A new Rightmove/Savills Rental Britain report claims it anticipates 20% of all families will be privately renting by 2016 compared to around 16.6% currently.

Worse, it expects some rents will completely wipe out the average monthly pay cheque. And it's not just younger people affected.
