Market New Listings
Foxtons - Lettings Market
The lack of rental stock remains a key headline. Year to date, there have been 45% fewer new
listings, compared to the same period last year. There had been a minor rise in listings from
February to March, but April drove the metric back down - new listings decreased 13%, with just
25,000 properties coming to market.
In recent years, changes to tax and regulations have required landlords to get more involved with
their properties. So, with the benefits of the stamp duty holiday and the pressures of the
pandemic, a number of landlords chose to sell. Also, some renters chose to renew their contracts
rather than buy a first home because of the increase to mortgages interest rates. These both may
have had an effect on the lack of rental properties coming to the market.
