Rightmove's latest quarterly Rental Trends Tracker is here - Here are some the headlines from the July report ⬇
🏡 Average advertised rents outside of London rise to a new quarterly record of £1,314 per calendar month (6.8% increase vs last year). London rents have also risen to a new record of £2,661 (3.7% increase vs last year). However, the pace of annual rental price growth overall is still slowing from peaks in 2022.
🏡 Despite overall rental supply slowly improving from last year (+14%), the number of rental properties available is still 20% below pre-pandemic levels.
🏡 The number of enquiries each property is receiving from would-be tenants is now 17 which, whilst down from 26 in 2023, is more than double the 8 at this time in 2019. Tenant demand is down 16% compared to last year, however, 22% more tenants are looking to move than in 2019.
Our property expert Timothy Bannister says: “With 17 enquiries for every available rental property, the market remains out of balance and difficult for tenants. We need landlord investment to increase stock and help achieve a healthier supply and demand balance in the market.”
