Rental prices surge to new record amid demand mismatch, report finds
The Independent says the average rental asking price in the UK has jumped to a new record as demand continues to outstrip properties on the market, according to a report.
Property firm Rightmove’s first-quarter rental trends tracker found the average asking price per calendar month shot up by 10.8% year-on-year to £1,088 outside London and 14.3% to £2,193 inside the capital.
This marks the first time that rents outside of London rose by more than 10% annually, while the leap inside the capital was the largest of any region on record.
On a quarter-on-quarter basis, UK asking rents rose by 1.8% in the first three months of the year, the group added.
