Rent Rises Ease Across The UK

Rent rises have moderated across the UK according to the latest findings from the HomeLet Rental Index. In every region of the UK, the pace of rent rises slowed and in some regions retracted over the three months to August 2015, compared to the previous three-month period. The trend is particularly marked in areas where rents have been rising exceptionally quickly this year, notably the South East of England and East Anglia. Nevertheless, on an annual basis, rent prices remain significantly higher than a year ago, with the average UK rent 10.5% higher than in the three months to August 2014.
