Rental growth sits at 7.3% year-on-year in England, bringing the average to £1,666 in November.
The biggest year-on-year change was in the North West, where prices are up by 11% compared to last November.
The majority of other regions – the East Midlands, North East, South East, South West and West Midlands – have all seen rises of 7%+.
The research comes from Goodlord’s Rental Index.
William Reeve, Goodlord’s chief executive, said: “Whilst month-on-month patterns continue to follow the predicted seasonal ebbs and flows, the year-on-year data highlights how much the market has changed over the last 12 months.
“Rents are up by over 7% compared to November 2022, reflecting the intensity of demand the market has experienced since then.”
Despite the onset of what is traditionally a slower season for lettings, sustained market demand saw rents hold broadly steady in November when compared to October figures.
Rents are marginally down, by less than 2%, compared to October.
This follows a consistent trend of rents dipping slightly between October and November.
