Goodlord’s latest [Rental Index](https://www.goodlord.co/newsagent/goodlord-rental-index) reveals that in May 2025, average rents across England hit £1,226—a 3.7% increase year-on-year and the highest level since October 2024. Voids have held steady at 21 days.

flatfair's data aligns with this trend, showing an average rent increase of 5.11% from £1,313.62 (Jan–June 2024) to £1,380.77 (Jan–June 2025).

As the traditional “summer surge” in rental prices kicks in, tenants are feeling the squeeze. Not only are monthly rents rising, but many are seeing salaries fall month-on-month, with average new lease signers earning £37,676, down 2.5% from April. This mounting affordability gap is raising pressure on both tenants and agents.

How flatfair’s No Deposit solution can help:

Remove the upfront cash barrier  
On average, tenants save £1,234.04 in upfront moving costs by choosing flatfair's No Deposit solution. This makes it easier for tenants to move in quickly, even as rental prices rise.

Shorter voids = faster tenancy starts  
When deposits tie up tenant funds, move-in dates are delayed. flatfair frees up the funds, helping landlords reduce void days and letting agents maintain momentum.

Build tenant goodwill in a tight market  
With rents rising and wage growth lagging, offering deposit-free alternatives sends a signal: we’re empathetic to tenant realities. That builds trust, and loyalty.

As the summer lettings season intensifies and rents trend upward, flatfair offers an agile, landlord-safe way to bridge affordability gaps for tenants, all without compromising on security. With tenants saving over £1,200 on upfront costs, it’s a win–win for agents, landlords, and renters alike.

Let your landlords know their properties could let faster and appeal to a wider pool of renters, without sacrificing protection, by offering deposit-free renting this summer.
