A quiet window of opportunity for landlords 💛
Market data shows prime London rents up 2.9% annually in outer London, with prime central London seeing its strongest rental growth in two years. At the same time, cautious landlords are holding back, which has squeezed rental supply and intensified tenant competition for quality homes.
Here's what that means in plain terms: when fewer landlords list homes and rents keep rising, yields strengthen. Many owners are sitting on their hands waiting for certainty, while the investors who move now are the ones benefitting from the reduced competition.
