Rental values are continuing to climb as a result of the Renter’s Rights Act (RRA). The increase was 3.3% in the year to June in prime outer London, which is the highest figure recorded since June 2024, a time when rents were still coming down from pandemic-era highs. The RRA was introduced in May to tip the balance of power in favour of tenants. The full details can be found here, and the new rules cover the setting of rents, repossession, selling restrictions and pets.
