Rightmove Reports Drop in Available Rental Homes in Q2 2026

Rightmove data shows that the number of available rental homes in the UK fell below the previous year’s level in the second quarter of 2026. This is the first time in four years that such a decrease has been recorded.

According to the report, the post-pandemic market saw rental home availability reach record low levels, followed by a period of steady increase. The recent drop may be of particular interest to letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring supply trends in the UK rental sector.
