Renters are facing higher inflation than those who have a mortgage, according to new data from the Office for National Statistics. It revealed that households in private rented properties had the highest annual inflation rate of 3.6 per cent in March, reflecting rising private rental costs. A big contributor has been the fact that UK monthly private rents increased by 7.7 per cent in the 12 months to March, according to the ONS, but this fell to 7.4 per cent in April.
