UK Rental Market 2025: Expert Solutions for Landlords and Tenants
Recent data from the Office for National Statistics reveals a 7.0% year-on-year increase in average monthly private rents by May 2025, though this growth is showing signs of moderating. For landlords, this means adapting to new market conditions while maintaining profitable operations.
