London rents have reached a record £2,825 a month, while asking prices are still below last year’s level. 🏙️
In Penny’s latest blog, we look at the latest figures: advertised rents are up 3.2% year on year, available rental listings are down 9%, and rents have outpaced house-price growth in 26 of London’s 32 boroughs. Meanwhile, London asking prices are 1.7% lower than a year ago.
Could buying be right for you instead of renting? These figures are useful context, not personal advice. The best choice depends on your finances, plans and circumstances.
