prime residential rents

"We discuss recent prime rental movements, identify key market trends, and provide our updated five-year prime rental forecasts"

"Autumn has traditionally been a popular time to put a home on the market. The rise of the cash-rich buyer is a common theme across many markets, with buyers relying less on debt. Does this mean the prime market has continued to function better than expected?"

"Will rents continue to outperform capital values? Which cities have continued to perform? And what do we expect to see for the remainder of 2023?"

"A higher proportion of cash buyers means Surrey’s private estates are more robust to economic headwinds impacting the wider housing markets"

"Whilst demand remains strong, tenants' budgets are beginning to come under pressure with rising inflation and the increasing cost of living. As a result, we expect the gap between tenant and landlord expectations to widen in the short term with landlords who choose to price sensibly attracting the most interest"

"Average gross yields in 2022 have increased for London’s prime housing stock, as rental growth outpaced capital value growth in the first three quarters of the year and capital values softened in the final three months of the year"
