Homes slow to sell in Prime London
In this FT article journalist Liz Rowlinson, investigated why homes are slow to sell in some of ‘London’s most exclusive neighbourhoods’ and quoted Dataloft research published by Beauchamp Estates which pointed to the number of ultra-wealthy choosing to rent homes worth £15million+ rather than buy in London since the sharp rises in stamp duty and tightening of financial regulation.
BBC
Families forced into smaller homes
In our latest collaboration with the data-journalist team at the BBC, we provided analysis of the rental market for families. It showed how their average size of home has shrunk over the past 3 years, as rents have risen. Accurate data, thoughtful insight and balanced reporting are critical when the pressing need for more homes in the UK is under such scrutiny. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with the BBC.

The FT’s property correspondent, Josh Oliver, cited Dataloft in an article about rental affordability:
"Rents rising faster than wages has strained affordability. The median London renter paid 30 per cent of their gross income, the highest in at least five years, based on a 12-month rolling average compiled by DataLoft. Excluding the capital, UK average rent accounts for a quarter of earnings."
In our Briefing Note 12, we explore the extent to which people on low earnings are excluded from the UK’s private rental sector. Read on >
