Why UK rental prices could rise by 25 per cent in three months

Independent2 days ago
The flow of new rental properties coming to market has fallen at its fastest rate in five years, with 31 per cent of surveyors reporting a decline in landlord instructions.
This sharp reduction in rental supply is anticipated to push rental prices up by 25 per cent over the next three months, despite tenant demand holding steady.
The sales market experienced a downturn in July, marked by a fall in new home buyer inquiries and a net balance of 16 per cent of property professionals reporting decreased sales.
House prices are showing a slight downward trend nationally, with 13 per cent of professionals noting falls, though prices continue to rise in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and the North West of England.
While the average two-year fixed-rate mortgage has dropped below 5 per cent, the housing market remains "particularly price sensitive" amid ongoing economic uncertainties.

William and Kate set to move into new eight-bedroom home

The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, are preparing to move into Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park later this year. They will relocate with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, to the eight-bedroom property. The royal couple are reportedly covering the costs of the property and its renovations themselves, ensuring no expense to the taxpayer. This new residence is a short distance from their current home, Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, allowing their children to continue attending Lambrook School nearby. Forest Lodge is a Grade II-listed property, estimated to be worth approximately £16 million on the open market, with the King retaining the freehold.

Kate Middleton and Prince William to move into new eight-bedroom home worth £16 million

The Prince and Princess of Wales are to move into a new home in Windsor. William and Kate are moving to eight-bedroom Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park, with their children George, Charlotte and Louis. A Kensington Palace spokesperson said: 'The Wales family will move house later this year.' According to The Sun, the royal couple are paying for the property and renovations themselves, avoiding any extra cost to the taxpayer. The paper reported that work has already started on minor renovation at the Grade II-listed property. The move will be a short one from their current main home at Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, and the children attend nearby Lambrook School. They also have homes at Anmer Hall in Norfolk and Apartment 1A in Kensington Palace in London. As heir to the throne, William inherited the Duchy of Cornwall estate, a portfolio of land, property and investments valued at more than £1 billion, when his father became King. According to The Sun, Forest Lodge would be worth about £16 million on the open market. The freehold is owned by the King.
