WITH the cost of living rising, finding the right place that will not break the piggy bank is crucial. 

Many people have been choosing to rent after rising inflation costs have made getting an affordable and reasonable mortgage difficult.

Many people across Worcestershire and the rest of the UK have chosen to rent, but the crunch has also impacted the renting sector.

Statistics published earlier this year found that some areas in the county may need to pay £1000 more this year than in 2023, making where to live a crucial aspect in helping renters save money.

A new rent report by BLG Development Finance and Online Marketing Surgery ranks the average rent price across Worcestershire and reveals the best and worst areas to find a home.
