14% of White British households rented their home privately in the 2 years from April 2021 to May 2023 – the lowest percentage out of all ethnic groups.

The number of households that are privately rented by adults with children in England increased between 2006 and 2024. There were about *** households who lived in a privately rented dwelling in 2006 and by 2024, this figure had reached almost ***********. These figures reflect the growing trend of the private rental sector in the country.

The number of households occupied by private renters in England has increased gradually since 2000. From *********** in 2000, the number of households reached *** million in 2024, following a slight dip between 2017 and 2022.

Median monthly rental prices for the private rental market in England by bedroom category, region and administrative area, calculated using data from the Valuation Office Agency and Office for National Statistics.

The primary data source for these tenure estimates is the Council Tax Register compiled by the City Assessor. Stores, garages and properties relating to hostels and institutions have been excluded from the total stock count. Ownership information from this source relies to a considerable extent on residents notifying the Council that a change of tenure has taken place. Accordingly, the figures contained within this file may differ slightly from other estimates available which make use of additional data sources, such as tenure data from the Housing Benefits system, a housing stock file from the Glasgow Housing Association and the Statutory Register of Private Landlords. These tenure estimates were last undertaken for housing stock as it was in 2018, with the report going to Council committee in 2019. These estimates which are aggregated to neighbourhood level are available at: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=46229&p=0The ownership information from the various data sources does not always agree. This is a particular issue for private renting. For dwellings where the available evidence from the Council Tax Register and the Statutory Register of Private Landlords is not consistent, a more detailed tenure assessment was carried out, using a sample. The proportions for owner occupation and private renting from the sample have been used to estimate the tenure for dwellings where the tenure position is unclear.The owner occupied stock figures include shared ownership and shared equity properties. The social rented stock figures include mid-market rent housing. Housing at full market rent has been classified as private rented stock, irrespective of ownership.

Rental price statistics historical data time series (indices and annual percentage change). These are official statistics in development.

Price Index of Private Rents (PIPR) data chain-linked to Index of Private Housing Rental Prices. This is a historical series from January 2005 to February 2025.

The purpose of the dataset is to provide an indication of the geographical distribution of private tenants' applications for Housing Benefit, to show the size, type and age of dwellings concerned, the rents charged by landlords and the relevant Local Reference Rent (LRR). The figures presented cover the total number of private tenants' applications for Housing Benefit, and the Pre-Tenancy Housing Benefit eligibility determination by the Rent Service (RS) under the provisions of the Housing Act 1988. The dataset uses data from applications for both normal and pre tenancy determinations.

Rent prices per square meter in the largest Dutch cities have been on an upward trend after a slight decline in 2020. Amsterdam remained the most expensive city to live in, averaging a monthly rent of 27.6 euros per square meter for residential real estate in the private rental sector. Monthly rents in Utrecht were around six euros cheaper per square meter. Both cities were above the average rent price of residential property in the Netherlands overall, whereas Rotterdam and The Hague were slightly below that. Buying versus renting, what do the Dutch prefer? The Netherlands is one of Europe’s leading countries when it comes to homeownership, having funded this with a mortgage. In 2023, around 60 percent of people living in the Netherlands were homeowners with a mortgage. This is because Dutch homeowners were able to for many years to deduct interest paid from pre-tax income (a system known in the Netherlands as hypotheekrenteaftrek). This resulted in the Netherlands having one of the largest mortgage debts across the European continent. Total mortgage debt of Dutch households reached a value of approximately 803 billion euros in 2023. Is the Dutch housing market overheating? There are several indicators for the Netherlands that allow to investigate whether the housing market is overheating or not. House price indices corrected for inflation in the Netherlands suggest, for example, that prices have declined since 2022. The Netherlands’ house-price-to-rent-ratio, on the other hand, has exceeded the pre-crisis level in 2019. These figures, however, are believed to be significantly higher for cities like Amsterdam, as it was suggested for a long time that the prices of owner-occupied houses were increasing faster than rents in the private rental sector.

This dataset comprises the mean weekly rent and total charges of new general needs lettings, let at social rent levels, owned by Private Registered Providers.

These data are for new social housing lettings at the local authority area level, and are derived from record level data recorded through the COntinous REcording of social housing lettings. They cover new General Needs lettings, at social rent levels, owned by Private Registered Providers (PRPs). All figures are unweighted and are therefore not fully consistent with the weighted social rent data at national level in the 'Social Housing Lettings in England' statistical release.

Data are given for the mean weekly rent and total charges of each general needs social rent PRP letting. Total charges are derived from summing the basic rent with any of the following additional charges: service charge, personal service charge, or support charge.

This dataset comprises new general needs lettings, let at social rent levels, owned by Private Registered Providers, classified by source of referral.

This is the average weekly Private Registered Provider (PRP) rent in GBP for the financial year.Until 2011, data was collected by the Tenant Services Authority via the annual Regulatory and Statistical Return (RSR). From 2012, it was collected by the Homes and Communities Agency via the Statistical Data Return (SDR). In 2018, the responsibility for the SDR was moved to the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH).

Figures are based on general needs stock available for social rent only and are only taken from the larger Private Registered Providers (PRPs) completing the long form. Up to 2006, the threshold for completing the long form was that the PRP owned/managed at least 250 units/bed spaces. From 2007, this increased to 1,000 units/bed spaces. From 2012, the threshold for completing the long form of the SDR was that the PRP owned at least 1,000 units/bed spaces.

The average PRP rents within a local authority area can move down from one year to the next. This is especially true if, during the latest year, most of the LA stock has been transferred through a large-scale voluntary transfer to the PRP sector. Averages are calculated for self-contained units only.

This dataset comprises new general needs lettings, let at social rent levels, owned by Private Registered Providers, classified by the economic status of the lead tenant, including where economic status has been imputed.

These data are for new social housing lettings at the local authority area level, and are derived from record level data recorded through the COntinous REcording of social housing lettings.

All figures are unweighted and are therefore not fully consistent with the weighted social rent data at national level in the 'Social Housing Lettings in England' statistical release.

Data are given for the economic status of the lead tenant of each general needs social rent PRP letting, as reported by the tenant. In the cases of joint tenancies, the lead tenant is defined as the most economically active of the tenants. If one or more of the tenant have the same economic status, the oldest is deemed the lead tenant. Where the tenant has refused their economic status, it has been imputed.
