The Index of Private Housing Rental Prices (IPHRP) is a quarterly experimental price index. It tracks the prices paid for renting property from private landlords in Great Britain.

IPHRP is produced from a number of administrative sources and is classified as experimental by ONS.

The index compares trends (rather than levels) in average private sector rents across English regions, Wales and Scotland. It uses a complex mix-adjustment and weighting process to produce a single index for each area. This index uses data on actual new and ongoing rents.

The sample ensures that the index is representative of the stock at regional level and that it isn't distorted by units dropping out of the sample because they switch to LHA or for other reasons. This is an advantage over the VOA dataset where the sample is changing over time and may not be representative.

Tables show monthly data. Data is updated once a quarter.

Index level (January 2011 = 100). Not seasonally adjusted.

Average rents data for between 2003-04 and 2007-08 inclusively are estimated using total stock figures from Housing Revenue Account (HRA) audited base claim form. For 2008-09, stock figures for local authorities (LAs) where administrative boundaries changed on 1 April 2009 are taken from the HRA 2nd advance subsidy form as at 1 April 2010. Ordinarily stock figures would be taken from the HRA audited base claim form, however these figures were collected on the LA boundaries post 1 April 2009 and could not be reconciled with rents figures for 2008/09, which were collected on LA boundaries pre April 2009. Average rents data for 2003-04 and onwards are based on a standardised 52 week collection calculated by CLG from figures provided by local authorities.

In 2022, house price growth in the UK slowed, after a period of decade-long increase. Nevertheless, in March 2025, prices reached a new peak, with the average home costing ******* British pounds. This figure refers to all property types, including detached, semi-detached, terraced houses, and flats and maisonettes. Compared to other European countries, the UK had some of the highest house prices. How have UK house prices increased over the last 10 years? Property prices have risen dramatically over the past decade. According to the UK house price index, the average house price has grown by over ** percent since 2015. This price development has led to the gap between the cost of buying and renting a property to close. In 2023, buying a three-bedroom house in the UK was no longer more affordable than renting one. Consequently, Brits have become more likely to rent longer and push off making a house purchase until they have saved up enough for a down payment and achieved the financial stability required to make the step. What caused the recent fluctuations in house prices? House prices are affected by multiple factors, such as mortgage rates, supply, and demand on the market. For nearly a decade, the UK experienced uninterrupted house price growth as a result of strong demand and a chronic undersupply. Homebuyers who purchased a property at the peak of the housing boom in July 2022 paid ** percent more compared to what they would have paid a year before. Additionally, 2022 saw the most dramatic increase in mortgage rates in recent history. Between December 2021 and December 2022, the **-year fixed mortgage rate doubled, adding further strain to prospective homebuyers. As a result, the market cooled, leading to a correction in pricing.

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.

Data is Powered by LG Inform Plus and automatically checked for new data on the 3rd of each month.
