This summer is packed with exciting sports events like the Euros and the Olympics. Whether or not 'it's coming home,' if you're in search of a new home, explore Love to Rent for the best of the Build to Rent market for an unbeatable selection and essential summer features.
As summer approaches, the demand for rental properties traditionally spikes. This year is no exception, with a notable 20% month-on-month increase in demand as more people look to secure their new home before the summer holidays. The latest Foxtons Lettings Market Report highlights that the Build to Rent market remains competitive yet strong, driven by residents seeking well-maintained, professionally managed properties equipped with lifestyle-enhancing amenities. Although demand is up, there is also an increase in property listings helping to create a more balanced market. In 2024, there was a 10% increase in the London market compared to 2023 and when comparing April to May in 2024, there was a large increase with 36% more listings.
