The National Housing Federation of Britain (NHF) predicts that nearly 4 million young Britons will be forced to live with their parents because they can not afford their home. In this case, the cost of housing continues to outpace income, and the rate of new construction will not keep pace with population growth, predicts The Guardian.
Rents will be stable in 2013, and in the period between 2015 and 2020 it will greatly increase up to 6% per year. The same will be with interest rates and housing prices. When the young shoots of the British, born in last decade, will go to university or get a job, rent rates in the country, that is suffering from a shortage of housing, will go through the roof. Thus, experts are predicting problems in the property market in the UK since 2015.
The data, provided by NHF, coincide with the results of the real estate agency Savills, which forecasts growth of house prices by 18% by 2017.
Note that the cost of housing in all regions of the UK began to rise for the first time since 2008.
