Where can you find the cheapest rental properties in the UK?

July 17, 2012 - PRLog -- More and more are looking to downsize to smaller properties to save a few pounds on rent each month or are even seeking out rental accommodation further a field in the hope of lower rental payments and cheaper living costs.

We are all aware of the rental increases on many London properties due to the fast approaching 2012 Olympic Games and some tenants are vacating their rental properties due to the high demand for holiday accommodation during the Games. It’s doubtful that many of these tenants will find anything else to rent that fits their budget at present in the city and the majority are having to leave the bright lights and buzz of the city streets for quieter areas on the outskirts where rental costs have not yet been pushed to their limits.

Even those renting London properties who haven’t vacated for the purposes of holiday letting will more than likely have experienced some kind of rent rise and may feel forced to take on the decision to move to cheaper climates. In the past couple of years rents have shown an increase, countrywide, of 4%, more if you consider London although hopefully, by the end of the summer London prices should begin to return to more normalised levels.

However, it’s not only London where property seems deemed only for those with pockets lined with gold, Aberdeenshire comes in at a close second followed by Middlesex, Surrey and Oxfordshire.

So, where in the UK can tenants find the cheapest properties to rent?

Dorset boasts the cheapest of the high end rentals but these prices aren’t a patch on Selkirkshire which offers properties for rent at less than half the national average rent. Close behind Selkirkshire are Lincolnshire, Stirlingshire, Staffordshire, Cleveland and Cumbria, all with relatively low end rental prices.
