Market Outlook: Rents
15th August 2024
- Rental growth has been high in recent years, but the pace is now slowing. Leading indicators are starting to show slowdown in tenant demand and an improvement in supply.
- UK annual rental growth is currently at 5.2%, however this has almost halved from 10.3% in July 2023.
- Affordability is increasingly critical. Renters paid an average 32.7% of their income on rent in July, slightly weakened in all but two UK regions over the last year.
- Rental growth expected to ease back in 2024, broadly in line with earnings growth forecasts and is forecast to moderate to 2.5% by 2028.
