The rental market in prime central London is showing signs that it is potentially on the road to recovery, as reflected by the latest figures from Knight Frank which reveal that the pace of falling rental values in the area has slowed.
Average rents in prime central London dropped by 0.3% in May and is down by 4.8% compared to a year ago, which is an improvement on the 5.2% decline at the end of 2016, owed in part to the fact that new supply of rental stock coming to the market is slowing.
The improvement in the market at the lowest end of the market is owed to continued strong demand from young professionals, while at the high end of the market, above £2,000 per week, rental declines have slowed due to uncertainty surrounding the sales market in prime central London, which has pushed up demand for rental accommodation.
