Local variation is worth a closer look too. The most expensive place to rent in July was Kensington and Chelsea at £3,629 a month, while the cheapest was Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland at just £554, over six times the difference.
For the first time since October last year, London is no longer the region with the slowest rental growth. The South East has taken that spot instead, while London's own growth has actually picked up.
Wherever you're letting, knowing how your local market compares to the national picture makes pricing a property correctly a lot easier.
