Reviews
'An essential read about a broken housing market... We meet the victims of revenge evictions, botched repairs and bullying landlords and hear about mushrooms blossoming out of the mould on the walls as the rent cycles ever upwards.', 'There's something rotten at the heart of Britain's housing sector, which is blighting the dreams of millions of young people. Generation Rent dissects this morbid condition, with rigour and passion -- and shows us a way to treat it.', 'A sobering non-fiction read this month is the well-researched Generation Rent ... 'The housing crisis is just getting started,' warns Timperley in this important book. ', '" Generation Rent: Why You Can't Buy a Home (Or Even Rent a Good One) is ultimately the story of how the UK turned its youth into an asset class." From that powerful opening uppercut, Chloe Timperley lands punch after punch on a rental system that is dysfunctional, demeaning and downright unfair ... Timperley rightly locates the trials of Generation Rent in two policy failures: the under-provision of affordable public housing and an over-reliance on the private sector to meet housing needs. In a single phrase she crystallises the problem: "private investment and affordable housing don't mix". Thankfully, Generation Rent is not shy in proposing real solutions ... They say the first step in curing a disease is good diagnosis. Generation Rent does much more than that. It names the problem. It highlights the very human consequences. But, more importantly, it offers a better way of planning and running our housing system. In doing so it offers Generation Rent some hope that things don't have to be like this in the future.' - ,

Synopsis
' 'The housing crisis is just getting started,' warns Timperley in this important book. ' - MARTIN CHILTON, THE INDEPENDENT 'An essential read about a broken housing market.' - PETER APPS, INSIDE HOUSING In this razor-sharp account, a twenty-something writer goes undercover to the heart of Britain's out of control housing market. Chloe Timperley reveals why it costs so much to rent poor accommodation, why house prices have spiralled out of the reach of ordinary people, and the radical action we need to take to make homes fit for renters and buyers again., GUARDIAN''S TOP BOOK ON THE UK HOUSING CRISIS ''The housing crisis is just getting started,'' warns Timperley in this important book.'' - Martin Chilton, The Independent ''There''s something rotten at the heart of Britain''s housing sector, which is blighting the dreams of millions of young people. Generation Rent dissects this morbid condition, with rigour and passion -- and shows us a way to treat it.'' - Oliver Bullough, Moneyland ''An essential read about a broken housing market.'' - Peter Apps, Inside Housing For millions of Britons renting a home privately is the only option. More people are now expected to rent rather than own their own homes. Even members of Generation Rent with good jobs and skills have been priced out of the property market. In this razor-sharp account of how a nation of homeowners gave way to a generation of insecure renters haemorrhaging cash, Chloe Timperley tackles the myths and mysteries belying so many attempts to ''fix'' Britain''s broken housing market. She reveals: who''s being shafted who''s cashing in and the radical steps we must take to give everyone a good home Generation Rent is the essential guide to the UK''s ruinously expensive property market. First, Chloe Timperley charts the rise and fall of council housing. From the early 20th Century onwards, high-quality public sector homes provided plentiful affordable homes that mixed social groups well. Then Margaret Thatcher''s Right to Buy sold off local authority housing and the number of council homes for rent crashed. Some council estates became known as ''sink estates'', killing the municipal dream of post-war planners. As a result, more renters in Britain have come to rely on the private rental sector, often living in filthy and expensive properties - with the ever-present risk of eviction. For those who can afford to buy, ''entering the kingdom of home ownership'' will probably leave them with small properties and huge mortgages. In Generation Rent , Chloe Timperley tackles the surprising truth about many aspects of the housing crisis, including land agents, housebuilders'' profits, and the leasehold trap. We hear from tenants on the end of harassment from landlords and landladies and who struggle to afford booming rents. And we get to know those who are about to be evicted and the causes and extent of homelessness. We also hear about housing from the other side - from the small investors who have retreated into renting property after pension scandals, when the author goes undercover. Generation Rent is for anyone who wants to understand the reality of private renting and the reality of home buying. It''s for anyone who wants to know why they can''t afford to get on the ''housing ladder'' and why rent eats up half their wages. The author ends by suggesting a radical way out of the mess, rooted in the work of economist Henry George. Reviews ''Chloe Timperley lands punch after punch on a rental system that is dysfunctional, demeaning and downright unfair'' - Eoin Brown TD, Irish Times ''Black mould, botched repairs, rent hikes, revenge evictions, stolen deposits - the stories recounted in bleak detail in this lively book will be sadly familiar to many people who have rented in the UK. Chloe Timperley, herself a young renter with a background in finance, is an insightful guide to how we got here, charting the impact of the right to buy, the iniquitous role of land agents, the scandal of ground rents and the ongoing leasehold trap - all of which have led to a situation where, on average, renters are spending close to 40% of their incomes on lining their landlords'' pockets.an insightful guide to '' - Oliver Wainwright, The Guardian Buy the book and start reading, The Guardian top 5 best books on the UK housing crisis 'The housing crisis is just getting started, ' warns Timperley in this important book.' - MARTIN CHILTON, THE INDEPENDENT 'An essential read about a broken housing market.' - PETER APPS, INSIDE HOUSING 'A lively account of arguably the country's biggest social and economic problem.' - MARTIN WOLF, FINANCIAL TIMES For millions of Britons renting a home privately is the only option. By 2025, more people are expected to rent than own their own homes. Even members of Generation Rent with good jobs and skills have been priced out of the property market. In this razor-sharp account of how a nation of homeowners gave way to a generation of insecure renters haemorrhaging cash, Chloe Timperley tackles the myths and mysteries belying so many attempts to 'fix' Britain's broken housing market. She reveals who's being shafted, who's cashing in -- and the radical steps we must take to give everyone a good home, whether rented or owned. A fast-paced jaunt around both buying and renting in Britain, Generation Rent is the essential guide to the UK's ruinously expensive property market. Revealing how the UK came to have runaway house prices, Chloe Timperley dispels the notion held by some older people that the current generation of young people can't buy homes because they are feckless and squander their money on avocado toast. First, she charts the rise and fall of council housing. From the early 20th Century onwards, high-quality public sector homes provided plentiful affordable homes that mixed social groups well. Then Margaret Thatcher's Right to Buy sold off local authority housing and the number of council homes for rent crashed. Some council estates became known as 'sink estates', killing the municipal dream of post-war planners. As a result, from the 1980s onwards, more renters in Britain have come to rely on the private rental sector. Backed by generous incentives from successive governments, renting has become a lucrative form of investment and credit has boomed. Buy to Let pensioners and private equity companies have moved into the market, buying up and renting out houses and flats. Most would-be first-time buyers have been outcompeted and priced out. For those who can afford to buy, Generation Rent reveals that 'entering the kingdom of home ownership' may not be everything they expected, as a result of small properties and huge mortgages. In this concise book, Chloe Timperley tackles the surprising truth about housebuilding, including land agents, housebuilders' profits, and the leasehold trap. She delves deeply into the world of private rented accommodation. Like Tenants by Vicky Spratt, Generation Rent charts the real problems faced by ordinary tenants, from extortionate rents for fleapits to no-fault evictions. We hear from tenants on the end of harassment from landlords and landladies and who struggle to afford booming rents. And we get to know those who are about to lose their home through eviction and the causes and extent of homelessness. But we also hear about housing from the other side - from the small investors who have retreated into renting property amid successive pension scandals. To research the book, the author goes undercover at a Buy to Let conference and landlord seminars. Generation Rent is for anyone who wants to understand the reality of private renting and the practice and pitfalls of home buying. It's for anyone who wants to know why they can't afford to get on the 'housing ladder' and why rent eats up half t, In modern Britain, paying rent to a private landlord is financially ruinous. It costs more than paying a mortgage, hobbles the ability to save, and puts you on the hook for endless monthly payments - often for shabby, even dangerous cramped flats.Yet, for millions - mostly under 35 - renting privately is the only option. By 2025, more people are expected to rent than own their own homes. Members of today's Generation Rent who have done everything right - good education, good job - have been priced out of the property market for good. They are stuck.In this razor-sharp account of how a nation of homeowners gave way to a generation of renters haemorrhaging cash, Chloe Timperley tackles the myths and mysteries belying so many attempts to 'fix' Britain's broken housing market. She reveals who's being shafted, who's cashing in -- and the radical steps we must take if we are to bury a rotten idea: that hoarding rental properties is nothing more than a legitimate investment strategy. Let's start bringing Britons home.

    Exactly as described, looked brand new, great price. and packaged really well. At first was not provided a tracking number, contacted seller and they immediately responded, got tracking number but only problem I was given a tracking number for ups not usps and after reading some reviews they said they got a ups tracking and it was actually usps not ups. I was able to track it by tracking usps. Other than that small mixup everything was perfect. Will purchase from again, very happy with book
