It's no secret that our voracious buying habits are damaging the planet. The fashion industry is one of the greatest global polluters, according to OneGreenPlanet, and while structural changes are crucial in solving this problem (we're talking legislative changes here), little old you can do your part too.

In fact, individual consumer behaviour can have a huge impact. The Instagram account 1 million women reported that if everyone in the UK didn't buy new clothes 'for one day, the emissions saved would be equivalent to driving a car around the world 8,640 times'.

And there are worthwhile alternative options to buying new - namely, looking after what you have and shopping second-hand. However, sometimes the need for 'new' prevails, and when it does, why not try hiring clothes?

Already the norm in the US with websites like Rent The Runway, fashion rental platforms are increasingly making their way across the pond. And, its unsurprising since the sharing economy is growing rapidly and is projected to be valued at £269 billion by 2025, according to Forbes.

Be it a wedding guest dress, a Christmas party ensemble, a holiday-perfect wardrobe or a fashion-week ready handbag, some items or events feel like they are not worth investing in, and thats where dress hire comes in.

Though fashion rental isn't without its downsides, we already rent our homes, cars and even our dogs, and our clothes are next.

In 2022, house price growth in the UK slowed, after a period of decade-long increase. Nevertheless, in February 2025, prices reached a new peak, with the average home costing close to ******* British pounds. This figure refers to all property types, including detached, semi-detached, terraced houses, and flats and maisonettes. Compared to other European countries, the UK had some of the highest house prices. How have UK house prices increased over the last 10 years? Property prices have risen dramatically over the past decade. According to the UK house price index, the average house price has grown by over ** percent since 2015. This price development has led to the gap between the cost of buying and renting a property to close. In 2023, buying a three-bedroom house in the UK was no longer more affordable than renting one. Consequently, Brits have become more likely to rent longer and push off making a house purchase until they have saved up enough for a down payment and achieved the financial stability required to make the step. What caused the recent fluctuations in house prices? House prices are affected by multiple factors, such as mortgage rates, supply, and demand on the market. For nearly a decade, the UK experienced uninterrupted house price growth as a result of strong demand and a chronic undersupply. Homebuyers who purchased a property at the peak of the housing boom in July 2022 paid ** percent more compared to what they would have paid a year before. Additionally, 2022 saw the most dramatic increase in mortgage rates in recent history. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the **-year fixed mortgage rate doubled, adding further strain to prospective homebuyers. As a result, the market cooled, leading to a correction in pricing.

• The CORE lettings data include information on the characteristics of both private registered providers and local authority new social housing tenants and the homes they rent. For each year, data is structured into four datasets based on type of letting (social rent general needs and supported needs, and affordable rent general needs and supported needs). It is a regulatory requirement for providers registered with the Homes and Communities Agency to supply the data. For those who are not registered, submissions are voluntary. Local authorities have participated in CORE since 2004-5 on a voluntary basis. Weighting is applied to adjust for non-response by local authorities for social rent datasets, and imputation is also carried out to address item-level non-response of key data on tenant characteristics for both local authorities and privately registered providers. The three datasets for affordable rent are not weighted or imputed.
• The CORE sales data include information on sales of local authority dwellings and some summary details on sales of registered provider stock (previously known as Registered Social Landlords or housing associations). Collecting these data allows for a better understanding of the socio-economic and demographic make-up of affordable housing customers and local housing markets and products. The sales dataset is imputed, with more information on the imputations within the data dictionary.

• For the standard End User Licence (EUL) version (SNs 9237 and 9238), the geographic level of the data is set at Government Office Region (GOR). Letting and voiding dates are provided at month and year only; age variables are top-coded at 90 years; income, benefits, earnings, charge and shortfall variables are banded to disguise unique values; landlords are grouped into coded categories.
• For the Special Licence access (SL) version (SNs 9239 and 9240), geographic level is set at Local Authority. The SL data have more restrictive access conditions than those made available under the standard EUL. Prospective users of the SL version will need to complete an extra application form and demonstrate to the data owners exactly why they need access to the additional variables in order to get permission to use that version.
• For Secure Access (SNs 9241 and 9242), the full CORE datasets are available, with some key variables recoded. Prospective users of the Secure Access version will need to fulfil additional requirements, including completion of face-to-face training and agreement to further stringent access conditions.

Just as in many other countries, the housing market in the UK grew substantially during the coronavirus pandemic, fueled by robust demand and low borrowing costs. Nevertheless, high inflation and the increase in mortgage rates has led to house price growth slowing down. According to the forecast, 2024 is expected to see house prices decrease by three percent. Between 2024 and 2028, the average house price growth is projected at 2.7 percent. A contraction after a period of continuous growth In June 2022, the UK's house price index exceeded 150 index points, meaning that since 2015 which was the base year for the index, house prices had increased by 50 percent. In just two years, between 2020 and 2022, the index surged by 30 index points. As the market stood in December 2023, the average price for a home stood at approximately 284,691 British pounds. Rents are expected to continue to grow According to another forecast, the prime residential market is also expected to see rental prices grow in the next years. Growth is forecast to be stronger in 2024 and slow down in the period between 2025 and 2028. The rental market in London is expected to follow a similar trend, with Central London slightly outperforming Greater London.

A dataset comparing monthly living costs across major cities in China, including rent, food, transport, and more for ESL teachers.

The figure reported represents a simple count of additional completed affordable housing units to the housing stock in the area - newly built, including gains from conversions such as subdivision, and acquisitions.Affordable housing is the sum of social rent, affordable rent, intermediate rent (including London Living Rent), affordable home ownership, shared ownership, London affordable rent and First Homes. As this is an absolute value for each area, care should be taken when drawing any comparisons with other areas. Includes homes where the cost is met by a private developer (e.g. Section 106 agreements). New dwellings are shown under the local authority in which they are located which occasionally differs from the sponsoring authority. Figures shown represent the best estimates may be subject to revisions and national totals may differ from the sum of the authorities. This was formerly published as NI 155.

This dataset contains responses to the question: In the tenant’s view what was the main reason the household left their last settled home?

These data are for new social housing lettings at the local authority area level, and are derived from record level data recorded through the COntinous REcording of social housing lettings. They cover new General Needs lettings, at social rent levels, owned by Local Authorities (LAs). All figures are unweighted and are therefore not fully consistent with the weighted social rent data at national level in the 'Social Housing Lettings in England' statistical release.

Some Local Authority areas are missing from the Local Authority owned datasets due to there being either no LA owned lettings in that area, or there being too few lettings in an area for the data to be released, as it is deemed disclosive.

Data are given for the tenant’s reason for housing, as reported by the tenant. Some categories have been combined into ‘Other’ for disclosure purposes due to their sensitive nature and/or risk of re-identification.

Expenditure on rent by renters and mortgages by mortgage holders, by region and age from the Living Costs and Food Survey for the financial year ending 2022. Data is presented as a proportion of total expenditure and a proportion of disposable income.

This has been derived based on net additional homes provided and the number of affordable homes delivered. This expresses a simple count of affordable housing units provided - newly built, including gains from conversions such as subdivision, and acquisitions, as a percentage of the net increase in overall dwelling stock over one year, calculated as the sum of new build completions, minus demolitions, plus any gains or losses through change of use and conversions.

Net additions does not include new delivery and acquisitions to the existing stock. Affordable housing is the sum of social rent, affordable rent, intermediate rent (including London Living Rent), affordable home ownership, shared ownership, London affordable rent and First Homes.

This should be considered alongside the actual numbers reported for affordable dwellings and overall new dwellings, however as these are given as absolute values for each area care should be taken when drawing any comparisons with other areas. Some percentages therefore may be over 100%.

New build figures are from the annual 'housing supply; net additional dwellings' statistical release may not correspond to new build data from the quarterly 'Housing supply: indicators of supply' building control reported completions statistical release. New build data collected for 'net additions dwellings' is more comprehensive, as this collection is over a longer time period, is based on all available evidence (e.g., site visits, council tax records, planning databases, building control records and any other sources), and may pick up some elements missing from the quarterly P2 and AIR collections (which are based on building control reported completions only).
