    1 bed places are the worst places to own for renting out:

    the people that are/were renting 1 bed flats could just as easily stay at home or houseshare with friends.

    if they lose their jobs, they are likely to just move back home


    the rent on a 3-bed is not 3x a 1-bed
    people will look at the total cost of living on their own, & realise that if they share with 2 others, the running costs of the shared rooms is cut in 3.

    What a load of twonk!!

    It depends on your area.
