| Comment | One additional issue to note is that this year is seeing a huge rebound in student numbers, as people who deferred their entry due to covid/travel restrictions are now starting their planned studies.
Similarly the student rental market has been down for a couple of years because of lower international student numbers, and so a lot of private rentals that would have been student digs now have either turned to longer-term lets or been taken off the market altogether.
So this isn't necessarily a long-term issue, but this year is pretty much a perfect storm of demand and supply issues. |
