Navigating Thanet’s Changing Rental Landscape: Insights from Cooke & Co.
The lettings market in Thanet has experienced substantial shifts over the past five years, presenting both challenges and opportunities for landlords and tenants alike. At Cooke & Co, we’ve kept a close eye on these developments, and it’s time to share our insights into what these changes mean for you.
The State of the Rental Market in Thanet
Since March 2019, the availability of rental properties in Thanet, much like the rest of the UK, has significantly declined. This decrease reflects a broader national trend, with all 12 regions across the country reporting similar downturns. The North East has seen the most dramatic fall, but even in Thanet, the impact is noticeable.
Tenant Trends and Market Stability
Amidst these market fluctuations, many tenants are choosing to stay put for longer periods, contributing to a more stable tenancy environment. This behavior has prevented significant rent hikes in established rental properties, contrasting with newer properties entering the market at higher rental price points.
Implications for Landlords and Tenants
For tenants, this means navigating a market with fewer choices and potentially higher rents for new leases. For landlords, particularly in Thanet, the scenario is twofold: existing landlords enjoy sustained occupancy, while new landlords entering the market can capitalize on higher rental yields.
