Why are rent increases are slowing? The downturn in the rate of rental growth is an outcome of weaker rental need and growing affordability pressures, rather than a boost in supply, according to Zoopla.

Rental need is 16 per cent lower over the last year, although this remains more than 60 per cent above pre-pandemic levels.

Lower migration into the UK for work and research study is an essential element, according to Zoopla with a 50 percent decrease in long-term net migration last year.

Stability in mortgage rates and improved access to mortgage financing for first-time-buyers, most of whom are renters, is likewise an element behind the small amounts in levels of rental demand.

Aiming to the remainder of 2025, leas remain on track to increase by between 3 and 4 per cent over the rest of the year, according to Zoopla.

'Rents rising at their lowest level for four years will be welcome news for occupants across the nation,' stated Richard Donnell of Zoopla.

'While demand for rented homes has actually been cooling, it stays well above pre-pandemic levels sustaining continued competition for rented homes and a steady upward pressure on rents.

'The pressures are particularly severe for lower to middle incomes with little hope of buying a home and where moving home can trigger much higher rental expenses.

'The rental market desperately needs increased financial investment in rental supply across both the private and social housing sectors to improve choice and alleviate the cost of living pressures on the UK's renters.'

In the North East, rental development has actually slowed to 5.2 percent, down from 9.4 per cent in 2024.

In Scotland, the rate of development has slowed quickly from 9.1 percent to 2.4 percent due to price pressures and the removal of rent controls which restricted how much rents can be increased within tenancies.

While leas are not surging as much as they were, lots of throughout the residential or commercial property market feel the upward pressure on rents to continue, especially if proprietors continue to leave the sector.

'Rental worth growth has actually cooled over the in 2015 but remains thanks to tight supply,' said Tom Bill, head of UK residential research study at Knight Frank.

'While some demand has actually moved to the sales market as mortgage rates edge lower, a number of landlords have offered due to the tougher regulative and tax landscape.

'As the Renters' Rights Bill enters into force over the next 12 months, the upwards pressure on leas might heighten if proprietors see added risks around the foreclosure of their residential or commercial property and void durations.'

Greg Tsuman, managing director for lettings at Martyn Gerrard Estate Agents, included: 'Unfortunately, these figures do not represent an end of an age for the rental market but a temporary reprieve.
