Zoopla release latest Rental Market Report

07 Mar 2025

Zoopla's latest UK Rental Market Report has revealed a significant deceleration in rental inflation, marking the slowest annual growth rate in over three years. The report, released this month, also shows the average rent for new tenancies increased by 3% to £1,284 per month. This represents a notable decrease from the 12.2% peak observed in 2022, with the slowdown primarily attributed to affordability constraints, which have tempered tenant demand.

Despite reduced demand, rental supply remains constrained, with 12 prospective renters competing for each available property—double the pre-pandemic average.

Looking ahead, Zoopla forecasts that rents will rise by 3-4% throughout 2025, as demand continues to outpace supply, exerting upward pressure on rental prices.
