The latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reveals a significant surge in UK private rents, marking an increase of 8.6% in the 12 months leading to June 2024. This growth presents a dynamic landscape for property investors, particularly those eyeing rental properties.
Nathan Emerson, chief executive of Propertymark, commented on the recent trends: “There has been much insecurity across the rental market over recent years due to aspects such as uncertainty surrounding the Renters’ Reform Bill, increases in taxes, and a lack of clarity regarding regulation. In real terms, this anxiety has impacted new investment and, in extreme cases, has even prompted landlords to leave the sector, further compounding the issue surrounding available housing stock."
