PRS Tenants See Deposits Soar By 34%

Recent research from my|deposits has revealed that the average cost of a deposit has risen by 34% or £304 since the launch of tenancy deposit protection in 2007. The data shows that the average tenancy deposit now stands at £1197.73 – up £304 from £893.82 since Q2 2007. The figures also show a difference of £1168 between the average cost of deposits in the most expensive and cheapest regions in England and Wales. The most expensive average deposit paid by tenants is in London at £1,760.30, a rise of £37.20 (2.16%) since the same point last year. The cheapest average deposit is in Yorkshire and Humber (£592.75) and the North East (£602.38). Read more on the my|deposits website.
