Rent rates analysed

22nd January 2016

Figures from the House of Commons library show that Londoners are spending up to two-thirds of their income on rent, with tenants in 20 boroughs spending at least half of their income on rent compared to five boroughs six years ago. Londoners are paying an average of £700 a month to rent a room, 70% higher than the national average of £492 a month. The 2015 Rental Index compiled by EasyRoommate suggests that London rents have increased an average of 8% over the last year.
