When considering which type of property to rent, the amount of space and bedrooms available in a property is very important. Often couples choose to live in two bedroom flats so as to have a spare room for visitors and other family members, although in cities such as London this is a luxury few can afford.
As is the case with most flats, 2 bedroom flats tend to be rented and occupied predominantly by a younger demographic with only 9% of all owner occupied property in the UK classed as a flat/apartment by the National Office of Statistics in 2013. The higher turnover of this type of property along with the high demand in urban areas has in recent years lead to a number of high profile Lettings Agent scams and subsequent tighter regulations in the lettings industry.
