Private Rent & House Prices - UK: April 2025

A lot of discussion has been around the way in which the Renters’ Rights Bill is dealing with rent increases, challenging rent increases and the role of the FTT. A useful resource for all stakeholders is the Office of National Statistics.

The Price Index of Private Rents (PIPR) measures private rent inflation for new and existing tenancies. The UK House Price Index measures house price inflation.

Average UK monthly private rents increased by 7.7%, to £1,332, in the 12 months to March 2025 (provisional estimate); this annual growth rate is down from 8.1% in the 12 months to February 2025.
