the percentage of tenants experiencing rent hikes was at the highest level ever
recorded in August reaching 40% - up from 31% a month earlier. This is the
highest figure recorded since records began in January 2015. Year on year, this
figure has increased from 35 per cent in August 2017 and 27 per cent in August
2016. Demand from prospective tenants fell significantly, with the number of
house-hunters registered per branch dropping by 19 per cent in August to 64 on
average, compared to 79 in July. Year on year, demand is down 11 per cent as
there were 72 prospective tenants registered per letting agent branch in August
2017. Read more on the ARLA website.
