Nationally home rentals are continuing to rise with average rental prices up steadily at 1.2%. Property Wire reports there is a north/south divide in rentals but averagely rents have grown in line with wages (except in London). There is excitement in the market with more buy to let investors purchasing before the stamp duty changes in April and with the Right to Buy ISA taking off with great success, most landlords could keep great tenants for those four years it takes to raise their deposit to buy.
Mike at Tortoise Property says: “Although nationally rents have grown in line with wages, in some local markets we can see a dis-connect in advertised rental prices against wages on some properties. This is due to local elements of supply and demand, however with property purchases completing by March, as investors try to beat the stamp duty deadline we should be seeing a surge in properties coming to market for rent, which should then assist in balancing out supply and demand for rental properties.
