Risk of low homeownership of London millennial

Millennial Housing Crisis 

The current lack of affordable homes in the UK led to a decline in buying, leading to higher risks of rental development in top markets in the coming years. As a result, some recent college grads, those with earnings of over £70,000, are not able to afford lodging in Central London.

The average compensation of workers in central London is £34,473, and the average pay in the UK is £22,044. The young workers spend more on an extravagant lifestyle, and they save less. There is a huge difference in earnings between those over their 50s and those below their 30s.

The report by Resolution Foundation claims around one out of three young British workers (between the age of 25 to 35 ) will most likely be unable to possess a house and may need to bring the family up in private rental facilities. Currently, the total number of the UK's twenty to thirty-year-olds is up to 14 million. 

The April report finds a decline in homeownership from 73 per cent to 63 per cent in contrast to the previous decade.

A fast development rate in property where the rents and property rates are growing simultaneously, lower growth in salary, and a decline in savings due to higher rental and growing lifestyle expenses are some reasons why millennials cannot afford homes in growing markets, and this led to the risk of low homeownership in the UK, depriving twenty to thirty-year-olds from buying their home, hence, forcing them to live in rental settlements for their lives. 

The leasing rules are not very strict in other parts of Europe, and individuals who wish to live in rental facilities can stay for as long as they need. Still, in the UK, the tenancy agreement is rigid, and the tenant can be asked to leave whenever the homeowner wishes or if the term ends. 

Developing Rents 

The lack of affordable homes and development in costs prompted growth in home prices and rents. According to the Hamptons International record, the rents grew 0.2 per cent y-o-y to £964. London has many overseas homeowners, and global ownership of let-ins grew by 5 per cent in 2018 compared to the previous year.

Around 12 per cent of the homes let in London were possessed by foreign buyers in 2018. About 44 per ce. wnt of the landowners in the UK are from Western Europe, and 16 per cent are from Australasia, followed by North America (14 per cent), Asia (12 per cent) and the Middle East (9 per cent). 

Though higher stamp obligations deterred global investors, new openings in the market due to Brexit in the second quarter of 2018 attracted worldwide financial specialists and property merchants.
