In the run-up to Autumn, rents have started to cool. Swansea's rental stats are showing a marked increase in availability, which we suspect is why asking rents have taken a hit. If you have a property currently available to rent, we advise getting ahead of the trend and review your asking rents to avoid a potential lengthy void.
For a more in-depth analysis of the rental market, keep an eye out for our quarterly report on Rightmove's rental tracker next week!
