The UK's least affordable cities have been revealed, with renters now handing over more than a third of their wages to landlords every month.

Tenants across England were forking out up to 36.3 per cent of their income on rent alone in 2024, new data has revealed.

This marks an increase of more than 33.1 per cent compared to 2023, with rent prices now officially above the 30 per cent threshold that the ONS deems affordable.

The significant new findings have prompted calls for rent regulation across the UK, as tenants desperately struggle to match the unprecedented rise in rent prices.

London has taken the top spot as England's most expensive city, with average rents of a whopping £1,957 per month seen across the capital.
