A shortage of rental property is a myth in the four postcodes that I track on RightMove.

Did anyone suggest there was a shortage? I thought we were all aware that there is a glut of rental properties on the market right now due to people deciding not to sell at low prices/can't sell so deciding to rent them out. Lot's of "accidental" landlords about - especially here in Poole!0
