UK Housing markets (ownership & rental) are dysfunctional:

Rents are rising as fewer landlords are entering the market slowing down supply of rentable homes;

house prices continue to rise pushing people towards rentals, driving up demand;

rents, mortgages & other household coats are rising forcing more into effective poverty (or near poverty).

It all looks like a continuing transfer of income from workers to property/share owners....

So perhaps functional for them, then!
