British renters are paying 2.7% more for their homes than a year
ago, according to data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The official figures show tenants in London are facing annual
price hikes of 4.1%.
However, as the ONS noted: “This headline figure hides
considerable regional variation: while all English regions experienced stronger
rental price growth in the year to September 2015 than in the year to September
2014, annual growth in Wales and Scotland slowed.”
Tenants in England are now paying 2.8% more than in September
2014. Excluding London means the figure falls to 1.9%. In the
south-east and east of England, rents rose by 2.7% over the year to September,
while in the north-east they were up by just 0.5%. In Scotland, rents rose by
1.6%, while in Wales they were up by 0.5%.
