October 29, 2018

Latest Your Move England and Wales Rental Tracker – September 2018 data headlines ‘New academic year keeps rental market ticking over’.

Just one region of England and Wales saw rents fall in the year to September 2018 and that was London, prices elsewhere are on the up according to the Your Move Rental Tracker.

Martyn Alderton, National Lettings Director at Your Move, comments:

“Students up and down the country are beginning to return to their universities. Yet far from the outdated stereotypes of ropey student digs, many young people are able to access top quality student accommodation in their place of study.

“The growth of the student rental market has been a boon for landlords who have invested in good quality properties.

“Yet the number of living options for students means that there is real competition, with landlords having to ensure quality is high to attract the best tenants.”
