Spring has sprung into action and the UK’s property market continues its story of rising prices fuelled by buyer and tenant demand for properties. The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ most recent market sentiment survey of the lettings market suggests that rent rises will continue through summer and into future years too. Its report says: “All regions are anticipated to see further material increases in rental prices over the next three months. Over the year ahead, rents are expected to rise by approximately 4% while five-year projections sit at around 5% per year through to 2027.”

Whilst the Budget in March offered a double bubble for property sales with its extension to the stamp duty holiday deadline and assistance for first time buyers, the Lettings market has also seen reason for optimism recently with the extension to the furlough scheme and support for the self-employed. February and March were good months for the lettings market, with UK rents holding steady and void periods dropping as tenants start to plan beyond lockdown. The South East, South West and West Midlands all saw average rents increase slightly.
