Rental Survey Highlights Regional Variations Across Five UK Cities

A recent survey of rental properties in five cities across England and Scotland has revealed monthly rental rates ranging from £950 to £1,750. The findings reflect regional differences in the buy-to-let market, with property type, location, and amenities influencing rental values.

In Milton Keynes, a one-bedroom ground-floor flat in a new development is available at £1,250 per calendar month through Leaders estate agents. The property is situated in the central business district, with parking offered at an additional cost. The development is adjacent to Campbell Park, a Grade II-listed landscape extending to Willen Lake.

Liverpool’s Lexington building, a 34-storey development at Princes Dock, features a two-bedroom apartment on the ninth floor listed at £1,750 pcm. Marketed by Hamptons, the building contains 325 rental units and offers communal facilities such as a roof terrace, co-working space, gym, cinema, and games room.

In Norwich, a mid-terrace cottage in Thorpe Hamlet is listed at £1,200 pcm from September, available through Sowerbys. The two-bedroom property features Victorian architecture and is within walking distance of the city centre and railway station.

Southampton’s Shirley area has a three-bedroom semi-detached house available at £1,750 pcm through Hamptons. The property is located near Southampton Common and the University of Southampton Highfield Campus.

In Glasgow’s Thornwood neighbourhood, a one-bedroom third-floor apartment is available at £950 pcm through Rettie. The property includes fitted wardrobes, communal garden access, and off-street parking, and is within one mile of Partick station and walking distance to Victoria Park.

The survey highlights the diversity of property types and rental rates across regional markets. Monthly rents are shown to correlate with location, property size, and local amenities. The data reflects ongoing activity in the rental sector as property transaction patterns continue to evolve across UK markets.
