Speed flatmating: a new way to find a flatmate - Telegraph
Pity the poor Boomerang Generation: the school and university leavers who can’t find a job and have to live with Mum and Dad all over again. It looks less and less likely that they will ever move out of that childhood bedroom, ever escape the My Little Pony duvet cover. Not only is unemployment among 18-25s expected to reach one million this year, but even if they do get a job, they’ll never be able to find somewhere to rent.
Like the job market, the rental market is suffering from too much demand. Fewer and fewer young people can afford to buy, meaning that lettings agents are becoming overwhelmed. The result is that anyone looking to rent gets less for their money, while competition is now so frenzied that a flat or house can come on the market over lunch and be gone by tea time.
