Real Estate Prediction 8 | Understanding the Private Rented Sector property

One of the megatrends in real estate is the need for rented housing in the main capitals. COVID-19 has accelerated this trend. The reasons behind the increased demand are the rising population, the fall in the average number of people per household, restrictions on financing combined with decreasing savings ratio and changes in habits.
