Rising rent fears
MAIDSTONE has seen the biggest drop in incomes across the South East, according to figures from the National Hous- ing Federation. However, the news isn’t all bad, as the area has also seen the biggest fall in rents. The statistics show thatwhile income has fallen by 8%, rents have only fallen by 4%, leaving many families out of pocket. But with house prices forecast
to rise by 61%, the federation warns that rents in the South East are likely to soar by more than half over the next decade. Warren Finney, South East
lead manager for the National Housing Federation, said: “It’s crunch time for our unsustain- able housing market, with house prices and rents set to rocket in Kent as thousands of families are already struggling
to afford their home. “One in 16 families is cur-
rently on the waiting list for so- cial housing and it looks like the situation is going to get far worse.
“Being unable to afford the homes they need can stop peo- ple from moving for work. “It also prevents young couples from starting families, having a big impact on people’s aspirations and ultimately affect- ing the economy.” TheNationalHousing Federa-
tion is calling on the Govern- ment and the whole housing industry to take a long-term, joined up approach to tackle the market difficulties. More immediately, the Gov- ernment must release publicly- owned brownfield land to housing associations so they can build more houses, said Mr Finney.
