Rent over time
The line is what the normal flat in Marlborough rents for in each year. The shaded band is the range most people pay, from the cheaper end to the dearer end.
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.
