If paying rent costs more than a mortgage, buying a home starts to look like the smarter choice.

JP Morgan sees London office market recovery with rising rents Investing.com -- JP Morgan has highlighted a recovery in the London office market, noting several supportive trends as demand increases against limited supply. The investment bank points to declining vacancy rates across London, with the most significant improvements occurring in higher-rated buildings. Rental growth is accelerating, particularly in the West End, from approximately 1% in the four quarters to March 2022 to around 7% in the four quarters to March 2025. Supply remains constrained, with space under construction and renovation (still available to let) totaling less than 3% of office stock. Meanwhile, demand is recovering, with British Land reporting that take-up of office space in Central London increased 29% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. JP Morgan indicates that property values appear to have inflected, and their models project capital growth if rental growth continues. Great Portland Estates (LON:GPEG) (LON:GPE) has guided for prime office rental growth of up to 10% this year. The bank’s preferred stocks in this sector are Great Portland Estates and Derwent London (LON:DLN), both rated Overweight, versus Landsec (LON:LAND) and British Land (LON:BLND), which are rated Neutral. JP Morgan remains constructive on Workspace (LON:WKP), rated Overweight, but believes the market will wait for occupancy rates to improve before fully re-engaging.

❗Urgent action is needed ❗

Renters' Voice wants to see the government commit to making renting affordable. We need more social homes, and we need to stop these unreasonably high rents getting even higher.

Many of our members live alone or are single parents. This means they must cover the cost of #risingrents with one income.

Would you be able to afford these rents?👀

Private rental costs drive hundreds of thousands of children into poverty

"According to the think tank, private renters are on average paying three times as much as mortgagors for the same amount of housing"

‼️ We need #affordablehousing now ‼️

Nearly 1 million children in the UK risk falling into poverty due to rising rents. Families are struggling—how much longer can this crisis be ignored? #Children #Poverty #FinancialHardship #RisingRents

Making the govt #deficit smaller won’t build any #affordablehousing units — which is the real solution to #risingrents.
