The report stated: Rents on new tenancies in London fell by 1.2% in April compared to the same month a year ago, the first such fall since December 2009. UK rents in April were just 0.4% higher than a year ago, with the average monthly rent now standing at £904.
New data from Homelet revealed that rents in London fell for the first time since 2009 during April.
Commenting on the research, HomeLet’s Chief Executive Officer, Martin Totty said:
“Rents have been rising at a much more modest pace across the whole of the UK in recent months, with lower levels of rental price inflation and even falling rents seen in areas of the country where prices were previously rising most quickly. This trend is ongoing: we continue to see landlords’ and letting agents weighing tenant affordability considerations very seriously.”
