I can only comment on the reality of rents on the South coast that are going up !. House prices may be looking shakey but not rentals. General Zod seems to think all is well in Scotland. I would imagine someone, if not the poles are going to have to build the Olympic stadiums, (if they ever get around to it) they will need rental accomodation..so should be OK there. So that leaves the Wales, Midlands and N England with rental problem ? and massive price drops on flats !
General Statistics are jolly interesting but can hide a multitude of variances
2 bed flats in Manchester may get cheap (rents and price) but larger properties in the N.W may be subject to a range of differing national and local factors
