As summer winds down, the London lettings market is following expected trends with a seasonal decline in tenants as the summer holidays end and universities return. This is offset by strong supply that we also expect to slow over the autumn.
With the Renters’ Rights Bill nearing implementation, maintaining high standards is no longer optional, partnering with a professional agent is key to staying ahead in this evolving landscape. This month’s Lettings Market Report offers insights to help landlords stay ahead.
📈 Key numbers from the report
• Rental demand fell by 11% in August compared with July 2025, reflecting the typical seasonal slowdown as summer draws to a close.
• Supply remains strong, with August 2025 listings exceeding August 2024 levels as landlords continue to bring quality listings to the London rental market.
• Average rents eased back slightly in August, down 5% from July’s seasonal peak, to £576 per week.
