Rental growth continues to accelerate, reaching the highest level since April 2016 according to data from Hamptons International, part of Countrywide.
The average cost of a new let in Great Britain increased to £986 pcm in June, up 3.1 per cent year-on-year.
The South West recorded the strongest rental growth, with rents rising 4.5 per cent annually, while rents in London increased 4.3 per cent year-on-year - however, Hamptons admits that June 2019’s figures are compared with a period of weak rents in June 2018 when rents in the capital started falling for three consecutive months.

.......driven by higher Government taxes, local licensing fees, and the cost of new regulatory compliance.
And in the coming year Tenant Fees Ban, as these fees get incorporated into rents.
All of which are supported by Shelter, Generation Rent, et al. Here's hoping all Tenants out there are eternally grateful!
I refer to a previous one of mine, more costs to any owner, means higher rents to accommodate extra the cost. The other course of sane reaction, is to cease to be a landlord. Gawdhelp renters & thanks to the like of Shelter for this.
