Rent over time
Fifteen years of Selwyn rent. The line is what the normal flat rents for each year; the shaded band shows the range most people pay. Useful for seeing whether rents are still climbing before you sign.
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.
