Broad Rental Market Area Profile – Ayrshires
Note in the following text and charts that average rents that have changed within +/- 0.5% could be considered as being fairly similar to previous periods.
Between 2019 and 2020 average (mean) rents have increased for 1 bedroom (1.5%), 3 bedroom (2.3%), and 4 bedroom (6.9%) properties, and have decreased for 2 bedroom (-0.6%) and 1 bedroom shared properties (-3.1%), which compares to CPI inflation of 0.5% across this time period. Between 2010 and 2020, average rents have increased for all property sizes, except 1 bedroom properties which have seen rents remain at similar levels. The largest increase has been seen for 4 bedroom properties (19.5%), alhough this is lower than CPI inflation of 21.5% across this time period.
For 1 bedroom shared properties, a greater increase at the top end (upper quartile) than the bottom end (lower quartile) has caused the gap between the top end and bottom ends to widen in recent years.
Average 2 bedroom rents have been lower than the Scotland average in each year since 2010, and the gap has grown over the years, with the average rent in 2020 being £469 per month, compared to the Scotland average of £689.1
