Rents to out-perform prices for next 5yrs

Savills latest '5 year property forecast' predicts rental growth will outperform price growth.

The agents believe rents will rise by 19%, compared to an average property price rise of 13%.

Concerns over Brexit will lead to a stagnant market in the short term, with the agent predicting a flat 2017, with price falls in some areas.

Rents however, will be buoyed by the supply not matching demand, as many landlords are deterred from enlarging portfolios/entering the market, thanks to recent government tax changes.
