Hamptons Lowers Outlook on UK Rental Growth as Home Demand Cools
Rental growth in Britain's housing market this year will be weaker than previously anticipated because of a 'faster-than-expected' softening in demand, according to revised forecasts from Hamptons.
The broker lowered its prediction for 2025 rental growth to 1% from the earlier 4.5%, and trimmed expectations for the following two years. The downgrades have been driven by the transfer of demand from the rental sector to the sales market as mortgage rates have fallen, as well as a weakness in the labor market, Hamptons said.
