Investor Analysis

Lomond's Q1 2026 data shows average UK rents rose 11% year-on-year to £1,384pcm, with growth recorded across all regions and a sharp pre-Renters' Rights Act uplift in tenant viewings and letting appraisals signalling sustained demand pressure.

Investor Relevance

Regional rent growth data directly updates yield calculations for acquisition and refinancing decisions; the pre-RRA activity surge signals both near-term demand resilience and potential post-RRA supply risk that landlords must factor into strategy.
