Landlords want people to be lonely

Landlords are hoping that we become a nation of lonely singletons.

Sad but true - I've just received a press release from a letting agent saying that experts predict that more and more of us are choosing to live alone.

These experts predict that this trend will continue and the UK will see a continued increase in single occupancy households, with levels forecast to hit 40% of the overall housing market by 2026.

Now this is all good news for landlords, ( I promised that I would find some didn't I).

Especially for those poor things who have dropped a clanger on a shoe box (see this previous post) in a provincial city centre, because apparently this is where these lonely folk will want to live.

As a property investor I welcome this future Britain of people lying alone in their home, but as a romantic it makes me feel a little sad.

Do I follow my head or my heart?
Should I hope for money or love?

This has got me into a bit of a fluster, I think I need to pop my marigolds on and lather up Gerry.
