Hamptons cuts UK rental growth forecast as demand cools

The Hamptons real estate agency has dialed back its predictions for rental price growth in the UK this year, citing a noticeable dip in tenant demand. Basically, fewer people are scrambling for rentals compared to last year’s frenzy, which means landlords might not be able to hike prices as aggressively as expected.
Editor’s Note: If you’re renting in the UK, this could be a tiny sigh of relief—price rises might slow down a bit. But don’t celebrate just yet; rents are still high, and this shift doesn’t mean affordability is fixed. For investors, it’s a sign the market’s cooling off after years of red-hot demand. Either way, it’s a reality check for everyone involved in the rental scramble.
