A rent review is not about increasing your rent unnecessarily. When carried out properly, it helps maintain a fair tenancy, supports the upkeep of your home, and strengthens our long-term relationship with you.
We compare your rent with similar properties in your local area to ensure it reflects current market conditions. This helps keep the rent fair for both you and your landlord.
Annual, evidence-based reviews help avoid significant rent increases that can occur when rent has remained unchanged for several years.
A sustainable rent helps fund essential repairs, routine maintenance, safety inspections, and compliance with gas, electrical, and EPC regulations.

Rental values change over time as supply and demand fluctuate. Regular reviews, supported by local market evidence, help ensure your rent remains fair, accurate, and predictable.
Letting agents and landlords use a range of approaches when reviewing rent. Some methods are more transparent and evidence-based than others.
Many letting agents review rent at renewal by comparing the property with similar homes currently available in the local market.
Some tenancy agreements include a clause linking rent increases to inflation, such as the Consumer Prices Index (CPI) or Retail Prices Index (RPI), regardless of local market conditions.
For periodic tenancies in England, landlords may propose a rent increase once each year by serving a formal Section 13 notice.
Some tenancy agreements include a fixed annual percentage increase. While straightforward, this approach does not take local market conditions into account.
We review the rent on every managed tenancy roughly once a year, usually at renewal, to keep it aligned with the current local market. It keeps things fair on both sides and avoids the rent drifting so far that a large one-off increase becomes necessary later.
No. A review is exactly that, a review. Depending on what the local market is doing, the proposed rent may rise modestly, or stay the same. Whatever the outcome, we show you the evidence behind it.
That’s absolutely fine. When you reach the rent step, choose “I’d like to discuss the rent”, tell us the figure you feel is fair and why, and your property manager will talk it through with you before anything is finalised.
Typically once a year, in line with your tenancy renewal. We’ll always contact you in good time rather than springing it on you.
A renewal is a good moment to refresh your referencing, recent bank statements, payslips and ID confirm your circumstances are up to date. It only takes a few minutes and you can upload everything securely online.
Confirm your details, review the proposed rent, and renew, all in a few minutes, online.
