As the UK property market continues to struggle more and more people are looking towards renting properties in the short to medium term until their own financial situations are clearer and the UK property market is more stable. While many people would suggest to you that renting property is "dead money" this is not always the case and there are a number of positive factors to take into account.

Renting also gives you the opportunity to perhaps put some money away for your own property in the short to medium term and then look to step onto the ladder as UK property prices stabilise – assuming we see liquidity return to the mortgage market. The ability to rent a property in a specific area, in which you may be interested in buying your own property, and "test the water" is also something which many people will be acutely aware of in the current economic environment.
