Financial Worries Mount for Britain’s Renters, Survey Finds

Renters are being left behind as the confidence of UK households shows tentative signs of recovering, according to a Bloomberg Intelligence report that underscores the economic divide created by Britain’s two-tier housing market.

A BI survey carried out in August found tenants made up the majority of those saying they were very concerned about their finances — a disproportionate amount given they account for around a third of UK households. They were more worried than a year ago, whereas homeowners were less concerned.
