1. Year-on-year rents up 3.3%

In November 2025, the average rent per property in England was £1,245. This is 3.3% higher than November 2024’s figure of £1,205. This equates to an increase of £40 per month (or £480 per year) for tenants.

At a regional level, the North West recorded the biggest year-on-year rent rise of 6.6%. This was followed by the North East, where prices rose by 5% year-on-year.

It was bad news for tenants during November, with average salaries of those signing new leases falling slightly month-on-month. Overall, average salaries were down 0.6% in November - shrinking from October’s £38,875 to £38,652. Salaries are up by 2.56% year-on-year.

3. Voids lengethened to 24 days

Voids lengthened in again in November. The average void period rose from 21 days in October to 24 days in November - an increase of an 14.3%.

The longest void periods can now be found in the West Midlands, where properties are vacant between tenancies for an average of 30 days. And the lowest are in London, where voids are currently 20 days.

3. Tenant salaries see uplift

Average tenant salaries rose by 0.8% this month, increasing from £29,637 in July to £29,883 in August.

The age of tenants dipped slightly, taking the average down to 32. The last time the average age was this low was August 2021, reflecting the number of student renters signing tenancies in the summer months.

William Reeve, CEO of Goodlord, says:

“We are seeing a pattern develop across these critical figures. Whilst month-on-month rental averages continue to mirror the seasonal ebbs and flows we’d expect of the market (particularly in the winter months), the uptick in the pace of annual rental inflation shows that supply and demand pressures aren’t abating. This could point towards new rental records being set next year and another intense year for the market, particularly as the Renters’ Rights Act comes into effect.”
