Map shows the 'sky-high' cost of renting near you - and where it's getting worse

The monthly cost of renting a home in the UK is 21% higher than it was three years ago, according to online property platform Zoopla. Analysis by the company shows the average monthly rent this spring was £1,283 across the UK, marking a £221 increase from 2022. While the rate of rent increases has slowed this year, one housing market expert told Yahoo News that this "isn't necessarily positive" as "it owes a great deal to how unaffordable rents have become". She warned rental costs across the UK are now "sky high". Here, Yahoo News has put together a map showing the most expensive places to rent in the UK, and details how the cost of rent has risen over time. How much does rent cost? The average rent in the UK is now £1,344 a month, according to the Office for National Statistics figures, which is slightly higher than Zoopla's estimate. Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at Hargreaves Lansdown, told Yahoo News: "The averages disguise huge variations across the UK, which have put renters in some areas under particular pressure. "Those in the North East are wrestling with rises close to 10% over the past year, while those in London have seen smaller rises, but are paying an eye-watering £2,252 a month on average." As you might expect, London is the most expensive place in the country to rent, followed by £1,384 per month in the South East and £1,240 in the East of England. Despite suffering the highest annual rise, the North East is still the cheapest area of the UK to rent with a monthly average of £734, followed by £804 in Wales, and £822 in Yorkshire and the Humber. How much has rent gone up over time? Figures from the ONS show a steep increase in rent across England, rising from £1,124 per month in June 2022 to £1,399 in the same month this year. Scotland saw rent increase from £802 to £999 during the same period, compared to a jump from £631 to £804 in Wales. Figures for Northern Ireland were only available up to April this year, where average rent stood at £852, compared to £665 in April 2022. Coles said that while the cost of renting "varies dramatically" across the UK, "nobody has escaped the sky-high rent rises of recent years". While she notes the average rent rise fell to 6.7% in the 12 months to June, "runaway hikes of recent years have really added up". "The fact that rent rises have slowed isn't necessarily positive, because it owes a great deal to how unaffordable rents have become," she added. "The fact rents have been rocketing for four years – well ahead of wages – has pushed more renters out of the market. "Fewer are able to leave the family home, more are returning to it, and some are stretching to a house purchase to get out of the rental cycle." Which areas have seen the steepest increases? Figures from Zoolpa provide a more detailed picture of areas that have seen the most significant rent hikes over the past three years. Oldham in Greater Manchester is the worst affected, with a 35% increase between 2022 and 2025 bringing average monthly rent to £876 as of March this year. Falkirk, in Scotland's Central Lowlands, saw a 31% rise during this period, with average rent standing at £881 in March. What is the government doing about rental costs? The government's flagship Renters' Rights Bill passed is third reading in the House of Lords on Monday, bringing it one step closer to becoming law. The bill aims to provide greater security to tenants, including the abolishment of fixed-term tenancies; the end of controversial "no fault" Section 21 evictions; and a decent homes standard for private accommodation. While this will provide some relief to tenants - particularly those with more exploitative landlords - Coles said the "fundamental issue" of high rental costs is a "shortage of housing". "That's not a problem that can be solved overnight," she added. "Changes to planning rules and a commitment to building more homes will eventually help boost the properties available, which should make homes more affordable to both rent and buy." In her spring statement, chancellor Rachel Reeves acknowledged that the government will no longer be able to meet its manifesto pledge of building 1.5 million homes in England by the end of this parliament. The Office for Budget Responsibility forecasted 1.3 million new homes added to the UK's housing stock between 2025 and 2029, with around 170,000 resulting from Labour's changes to the National Planning Policy Framework. However, FullFact said it is unclear how many of these homes will be built in England, as the OBR does not provide a nation-by-nation breakdown of its forecasts. Beyond increasing supply, Tom Darling, director at the Renters' Reform Coalition, has called on the government to bring in a cap on rent increases "so rent can't rise faster than inflation or wage growth". "A rent cap would give renters real security in their homes, allowing us to plan for the future and put down roots in an area, reduce homelessness and poverty, and mean people have more money to spend in their communities instead of lining their landlords' pockets."

Brewdog to shut 10 UK pubs this week

Brewdog is to close 10 of its bars later this week, including its first ever venue in Aberdeen. It is understood the closure plans, which are part of a fresh strategy for the brewing firm's hospitality arm, will put close to 100 jobs at risk. The Scottish craft brewing giant said it has made efforts to preserve the site, but it 'has simply not been possible to make these bars commercially viable'. It will shut all the bars on July 26 and launch a consultation process lasting at least 14 days. Brewdog said it will shut sites including its Aberdeen flagship pub on Gallowgate, the group's first bar site, following a review process. Founder James Watt told staff the closures are part of a refresh of its estate, partly in response to 'rising costs, increased regulation, and economic pressures' on the sector. He added that the brand will however still look to grow its bar business, with plans for more larger bars in 'destination' locations and to open smaller community bars. A Brewdog spokesman said: 'We can confirm that following a review of our bars business we have made the difficult decision to close 10 bars – which reflects a more focused strategy and a rationalisation of our bar footprint. 'This decision is not simply a response to the challenging UK hospitality market, but a proactive decision to redefine the bar division's focus for long-term and profitable growth – accounting for ongoing industry challenges, including rising costs, increased regulation, and economic pressures. 'We are working hard to minimise the impact on our people, and we expect to redeploy many affected team members across the BrewDog network. 'For those leaving the business, we're providing as much support as possible during this transition.' The company will shut the following bars: -Aberdeen Gallowgate-Brighton-Camden, London-Dundee-Leeds North Street-Oxford-Sheffield-Shepherds Bush, London-Shoreditch, London-York
