Wales is home to the most in-demand shared living market in Britain, analysis from HMO management platform COHO has revealed.<\/p>\n
Across Great Britain an estimated 10.4% of all shared living opportunities currently listed on the rental market have already been snapped up by tenants.<\/p>\n
Vann Vogstad, founder and chief executive of COHO, said: \u201cIt\u2019s no surprise that shared living demand is at its highest in the likes of London, Brighton, and Bristol.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese cities are home to some of Britain\u2019s most expensive rental markets which means lots of tenants are searching for a more cost-effective way of finding a great home in a prime location.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut shared living is about so much more than saving money. In a society where feelings of isolation and loneliness are so rife, shared living brings the promise of community and friendship, especially for those who are moving to a new city and are hungry for human connection.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The nation\u2019s most in-demand shared living city is the Welsh capital of Cardiff, where 16.9% of listings have already found a tenant.<\/p>\n
London ranks second with demand currently sitting at 13.1%, while Brighton ranks third at 12.2%.<\/p>\n
Bristol (12%), Bradford (11.4%), and Liverpool (11%) all have above average demand for share living, while Newcastle (7.6%), Manchester (7.2%), Edinburgh (6.9%), and Birmingham (6.1%) round off the top 10.<\/p>\n
Vogstad added: \u201cWhile it used to be a given that you could, for example, arrive in a new city to start a new job and rely on the office for forming new friendships, many people now find themselves working from home for much, if not all of the week.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuddenly, one of our most direct and trustworthy routes to connection and kinship has been taken away from us, making it all the more important to find those things at home.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
