Most agents predicting rent rises and price falls in Britain in 2019

Agents are predicting that rents in Britain will rise or remain static in 2019 and prices likely to fall or stagnate with Brexit only having an impact on certain areas, research shows.The survey by Belvoir of its franchisee across the country found that the majority of offices are predicting rental increases or static rents, primarily due to Government legislation and shortage of supply. In contrast to this, they are expecting a decrease in house prices. Out of four offices surveyed in the North West, all believe that rents will increase or stay the same in 2019 due to increased landlord costs from increased legislation and potentially the tenant fee ban.
