Rent rises moderate across UK
According to the latest findings from the HomeLet Rental Index, rent rises slowed in every region of the UK over the 3 months to August 2015 compared to the previous 3 months, however rents are still rising at double figure rates on an annual basis and now stand at 10.5% higher than a year ago.
The average tenancy across the Uk signed during the 3 months to August 2015 charged a rent of £992 per month, in Greater London, the rent on the average new tenancy reached £1,558 per month during the three months to August 2015.
Overall, the average UK rent on new tenancies has increased 1.6% in the three months to August 2015, compared to an increase of 2.2% for the three months to July and June 2015.
Martin Totty, Barbon Insurance Group’s Chief Executive Officer, in his comments reportedly said: “Rents continue to run slightly ahead of house prices, with the majority of the UK still experiencing rising rents, albeit at a much slower pace than we saw in the early part of 2015.
“On an annualised basis, however, rents in most regions are still significantly higher than the same period a year ago, with only the North West reporting lower rents for new tenancies in the three months to August 2015 than for the same period last year.”
