US Renters Move to UK in Search of Cheaper Rents, Says Goodlord

More American renters are moving to the UK for cheaper rents since President Trump took office, according to new research reported by Property118.

The research, conducted by Goodlord, analysed over 300,000 tenancy agreements signed over the past two years. The findings were compared with data from 2023 and 2024.

Goodlord claims that a combination of President Trump’s political agenda and the opportunity for lower rents in the UK has contributed to this trend. The report highlights a noticeable increase in US renters choosing to relocate to Britain.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, this trend may signal a growing demand from American tenants seeking rental properties. The data suggests that international interest in the UK rental market is being influenced by both political and economic factors.
