Find out how rents have changed with the latest DPS Rent Index
The latest DPS Rent Index shows UK average monthly rents have risen ahead of inflation over the last 12 months. Average rents compared to the same period last year have outstripped UK CPI inflation. To find out by how much and to see how rents have changed in your region over the period, read the latest DPS Rent Index.
“Every region across the UK has witnessed inflation-beating rent increases during the past 12 months.
“The combination of increasing demand for rental property and cost-of-living pressures seems to be fuelling sustained rent rises.
“Rent increases are also affecting every type of property, whether flats, terraced, semi-detached or detached, which may also reflect demand for rental property outstripping supply in many parts of the UK.”
