Rents across Britain continue to bounce back according to the Hamptons agency.
The average rent of a new let rose 7.4 per cent or £75 in August compared to the same month in 2020 to stand at £1,085 pcm.
Southern regions outside of London enjoyed the strongest growth: rents in the South West rose 13.9 per cent followed by the South East (12.8 per cent) and the East of England (10.9 per cent).
London saw the weakest growth – yet again – with rents up just 1.4 per cent annually.
