Rental price growth falls across London while national slowdown reaches four-year low

Rental price growth in London has fallen, according to new data from Zoopla, although competition for homes to rent remains high.

The property portal’s latest rental data shows that average rents in London rose by 1.5 per cent between April 2024 and April 2025 — less than half the level of the previous year, when rents rose by 3.8 per cent. These are the lowest rates of rental inflation since 2021.
