Read our privacy policy Average asking rents outside London have fallen for the first time since before the pandemic, marking a potential shift in the rental market. Meanwhile, London's rental market continues its upward trajectory, with average advertised rents reaching another record high of £2,695 per month, the 13th consecutive quarterly increase. “Our own data shows that the average rental property is still receiving 10 applications per property, which is lower than the peak, but still double the pre-pandemic norm.” John Baybut, managing director at Berkeley Shaw Real Estate in Liverpool, said: “Demand is generally still pretty strong and the market is still busier than before the pandemic. Landlords need to work closely with experts to set the right price and keep their home occupied in the current market, reducing the risk of void periods.” Alex Bloxham, a partner and head of residential lettings at Bidwells, said: “These figures suggest landlords are continuing to invest in their buy-to-let portfolios, while more tenants are choosing to stay put, likely due to continued macroeconomic uncertainty and the up-front costs involved in relocating.”
