Your trusted update from Plymouth’s local property experts 🏡
As we step into 2026, Plymouth’s lettings market remains dependable and well balanced. While rental growth has moderated, tenant demand is steady, affordability remains a local strength, and the market is settling into a more sustainable rhythm ❄️
Key highlights from the Plymouth lettings market
🔹 Consistent tenant demand
Well presented and sensibly priced rental homes continue to attract good levels of interest, particularly across popular residential areas.
🔹 Rental values stabilising
Rents have largely levelled off following recent years of rapid growth, with steady and incremental increases expected rather than sharp rises.
🔹 Quality and pricing matter more than ever
With tenants becoming more selective, homes that are realistically priced and well maintained are letting more efficiently and avoiding extended void periods.
🔹 Professional tenants driving activity
Ongoing demand from working professionals and key workers continues to underpin market stability across the city.
🔹 Landlords adapting for 2026
Many landlords are focusing on tenant retention, compliance, and property standards as upcoming legislative and energy efficiency changes approach.
🔹 Positive but measured outlook
Forecasts suggest rents for new lets could rise by around 2 to 3 percent this year, supporting sustainable returns rather than short term spikes.
