Crawley, West Sussex -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/16/2012 --Across the UK rents continue to rise as potential house buyers struggle to raise the larger deposits currently required by lenders for mortgages. This coupled with rents rising to record levels and pay increases below the rate of inflation means that saving a deposit is even harder.

In the towns around Gatwick Airport rents have risen even faster as Ivy Bidco Limited push forward with their development plans for increasing passenger numbers through the airport. This has created many new jobs for the local area as many airlines have returned and new airlines have also started using the airport. The creation of new jobs has meant an influx of potential tenants moving to the area looking for property to rent in Horley and Crawley as well as surrounding towns that are a little further away like Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill.
