London rent rises buck national trend but rate of growth slows

Church Street, Croydon - (Daniel Lynch)

London rents are continuing their upwards trajectory, with asking rents reaching a record high of £2,695pcm, yet the pace of growth is slowing according to Rightmove.

The most recent of 13 consecutive quarterly increases (0.1 per cent) equates to an extra £1 per month on average and, while London rents are now 2.4 per cent higher than this time last year, they are growing at the slowest rate since 2021.
