It’s expected that by 2039, renters will outnumber homeowners as younger buyers become part of ‘Generation Rent’. Prioritising flexibility, space and nearby opportunities, this new wave of tenants want to be as close to the action as possible. They don’t mind paying more either – according to Homes and Property, 2-bedroom apartments are more likely to attract tenants despite rents typically being higher.

Slough meets all of these demands. The world-class transport links it can provide means London is never too far away, while an affordable local market undergoing huge regeneration projects means that prime town-centre property has the potential to deliver incredible returns. Transformational infrastructure projects such as Crossrail are vastly improving accessibility, guaranteeing that London commuters will be able to work in the city and enjoy the benefits of more affordable living in Slough.
