Cheapest place to rent in UK

In the present economic situation, many buyers are finding it even more difficult to purchase a home. A growing number of people are opting out of getting a mortgage and staying in the rental market for the better part of life. Whilst renting, people want to save money, so it is good to rent somewhere cheap.  But where can you find the cheapest areas to live in the United Kingdom?

According to Generation Rent, 13 million individuals in the UK rent from a private landlord, accounting for one out of every five people. Renting is common among younger families; just approximately 41% of household heads aged 25 to 34 own their houses. Renting is also the most frequent type (59.2 percent) among low-income families (those earning less than 300 GBP per week). According to Brookings, income varies greatly by rental home. Low income families have a certain type of house, and high income families have a different type of house.
