Fifteen years of Sydenham rent. The tilde (~) marks figures that are a close estimate, because Sydenham is split across a few statistical areas and the rent is averaged across them.
Rents jump every January because that is when most student flats sign new leases for the year, and brand new tenancies rent higher than the standing stock. The line settles back by autumn. Source: MBIE bond data.
