It comes as Propertymark, a membership body for estate agents, warned that “there remains an unhealthy imbalance” between rental supply and demand. Nathan Emerson, chief executive of Propertymark, said: “Though it might be disappointing for many to see that rents on average have increased overall, it is encouraging to see that through 2025, we have witnessed rental inflation trending downwards.

“There remains an unhealthy imbalance between rental supply and demand, however, which continues to contribute to rental prices edging upwards.

“It has been positive to see attention focused on ensuring higher standards and greater consumer protection for those who choose to rent during the year; however, it also remains fundamentally important that investment is encouraged to keep pace with ever-growing demand, as the population continues to expand.”
