Haslams Residential Lettings Market Insight Report for Reading Q4 2024

The rental market in the last quarter of 2024 was busy at Haslams, with strong tenant demand slightly outweighing rental property supply. Although the quarter was quieter than the summer months due to the Christmas shutdown period, we successfully let 208 properties.

While rent prices haven’t changed after peaking last year, they remain 20% higher than two years ago. Our levels of rental stock is healthy with 70 properties available to let. These are largely concentrated in the RG1 area but we also have a mix of houses and apartments to let in the outskirts of Reading such as Pangbourne, Mortimer and Sonning.

For landlords using our property management services rent guarantee policies remain popular to provide stability and peace of mind.

The recent landlord event at our office on the Renters’ Rights Bill was well-attended, and we continue to monitor any changes to keep our clients informed. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your property portfolio with us.
