BBC Radio 4 - Door Stepping, Rent

The brutally changing world of the flat rental market, as Jude revisits her 1990s home.

Former London flat shares, now subsidised to keep the locals local – Jude Rogers revisits her 1990s dwellings. From 2017.

Jude Rogers return to the homes she has lived in throughout her life. 

She returns to rented accommodation across London in the 1990's - her first flat-share, central and cheap, and occupied then by a bevy of colourful characters - now empty and being used as a long term investment. 

Then she crosses town to find her former first floor flat in Hackney in East London, now subsidised by the local council as an attempt to keep born and bred Londoners close to their families, despite rocketing rents.

Producer: Sara Jane Hall

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in August 2017.
