Why are rent increases are slowing? The downturn in the rate of rental development is an outcome of weaker rental need and growing affordability pressures, rather than an increase in supply, according to Zoopla.

Stability in mortgage rates and enhanced access to mortgage financing for first-time-buyers, the majority of whom are renters, is also an aspect behind the small amounts in levels of rental demand.
