<br>'Rents increasing at their lowest level for 4 years will be welcome news for occupants across the nation,' said [Richard Donnell](https://multiplanet.ae) of Zoopla.<br>
<br>'While need for leased homes has been cooling, it stays well above pre-pandemic levels sustaining ongoing competition for leased homes and a stable upward pressure on rents.<br>
<br>'The pressures are particularly intense for lower to middle incomes with little hope of buying a home and where moving home can trigger much greater rental costs.<br>

<br>'While some demand has transferred to the sales market as mortgage rates edge lower, a number of property managers have sold due to the tougher regulative and tax landscape.<br>
