Darlington rents are rising faster than the UK average 👀
The latest ONS figures show average rents here in the mighty Darlington are now £689 per month, up 6.4% compared to this time last year vs a 3.8% average increase across the UK.
That local growth is encouraging, but £689 is still only an area-wide average so caution is still needed when appraising a deal.
We always check nearby comparables, tenant affordability and every cost before deciding whether a deal works.

This is of course multi-factorial but the strong economic and infrastructural investment in Darlington is making it more and more appealing as a place to live, and invest.
