<div>There are few who would question the need to deliver more homes. Research from Centre for Cities suggests Britain has a 4.3 million home deficit compared with the average European country. Meaning we would need to build almost 450,000 homes per annum over the next 25 years to satisfy future demand and address the historic deficit. At present we struggle to hit 200,000.</div>

    <h2><strong style="background-color:initial;font-size:inherit;text-align:inherit;text-transform:inherit;word-spacing:normal;caret-color:auto;white-space:inherit;">Q2 2023 Sales Index</strong><br /></h2>
</div>
<p><strong></strong>The JLL Prime Central London Index saw prices fall for the third consecutive quarter.&nbsp; The Q2 2023 index recorded a quarterly fall of 2.1%, with prices 5.9% down compared with the same period in 2022. Prices are now 6.8% lower than
    they were when prices peaked in the third quarter last year.&nbsp; </p>
<p>The upper echelons of London&rsquo;s prime market are proving more resilient. With prices down 0.8% in the 12 months to June 2023 compared with a 6.7% fall in homes priced at under &pound;2 million (likely to be most impacted by changes in interest rates).
</p>
<p>Despite sentiment impacting prices we saw deals agreed (exchanges) increase in an admittedly slow Q1 this quarter, with a 28% increase in sales in Q2 2023.&nbsp; With volumes on par with Q2 2022 (down -1.2%). </p>
<p>Stock levels rose in Q2, with 8.3% more properties on the market than in Q2 2022 and 9.7% more than at the end of the first quarter this year. Stock on the market is now at the highest level since the end of Q2 2020. </p>
<h2><strong>Q2 2023 Lettings Index</strong></h2>
<p><strong></strong>The uncertainty which is hampering activity in the sales market often has the opposite effect on lettings. With households more likely to stay in rented for longer or choosing to rent when delaying their decision to buy. Just over half
    (51%) of JLL deals agreed in Q2 2023 were renewals, up from 45% a year ago and 24% in Q2 2021. This was the highest rate of renewal since Q2 2020. </p>
<p>The number of new lets rose this quarter compared with last, up 13%.&nbsp; But the second quarter is usually more active than the first. Comparing new lets agreed (excluding renewals) in the second quarter this year with Q2 last year showing there were
    18% fewer deals agreed, with the number agreed down 35% compared with the Q2 five-year average.</p>
<p>This quarter the JLL Prime Central London Index saw rents rise by 1.9%, with rents 5.4% higher than they were at the same point a year ago. Small flats (1 and 2 beds) saw this highest annual increase in rents at 6.7% whereas more expensive properties
    (&pound;3,000 per week or more) saw a more modest 2.9% annual increase. </p>
<p>Rents are now 26% higher for one-bedroom flats (which have seen the highest growth) than they were three years ago at the end of Q2 2020. With the JLL Prime Central London Rental Index 19.2% higher overall over the last three years.</p>
<p>For prospective tenants having to contend with low stock levels there appears to be some respite as we move into the summer. Stock levels are starting to increase, albeit off a low base. With the number of rental properties listed to let at the end of
    Q2 2023 up 13.8% on the same point in 2022. But volumes remain 55% down on levels we were seeing pre-pandemic in Q2 2019. </p>
<h2>All Source: JLL/ LonRes</h2>
<p><strong>Our JLL Prime Central London Index is based on a &lsquo;basket&rsquo; of properties, valued by JLL at the end of each quarter. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Director of UK Residential Research at JLL, Marcus Dixon, explains: </strong></p>
<p><em>&ldquo;The implications of stubborn inflation on the UK mortgage market are hampering activity in prime central London. While fewer buyers are heavily indebted - almost half buy cash - uncertainty surrounding the short-term outlook is impacting prices. </em><em></em></p>
<p><em>&ldquo;The lettings market remains competitive, stock levels have improved on their 2022 lows but there are still more prospective tenants than there are properties. This has resulted in further rent increases this quarter, with rents almost 20% higher than they were in 2020.</em><em></em></p>
<p><em>&ldquo;The lower end of the rental market continues to see a steady stream of (formerly) prospective buyers moving across into lettings. With smaller properties, mainly one- and two-bedroom flats, recording the highest annual increase in rents, while prices for similar properties are seeing more significant falls than homes in more expensive price bands.&rdquo;</em></p>

The recent rise in interest rates does not impact all sectors of the housing market equally.

Prime Central London (PCL) Index – Q2 2023

<p>The Renters (Reform) Bill was introduced to parliament on 17th May 2023. It follows the 2022 private rented sector white paper, which outlined the government&rsquo;s aspirations for the future of privately rented homes. The bill aims to deliver on the
    government&rsquo;s plan to &ldquo;bring in a better deal for renters&rdquo;, which includes the ending of &lsquo;no fault&rsquo; evictions. These changes of course have implications for landlords too, but the bill aims to allay some of their concerns
    by strengthening Section 8 powers under which landlords can recover their properties.</p><p>Further regulation includes proposals for a new property portal and rental redress scheme, which aim to make it easier for landlords and tenants to resolve issues and for councils to track and penalise rogue landlords. For landlords, increased use of
    Section 8 could also make it easier to identify tenants with a history of rent arrears and antisocial behaviour, aiding the tenant referencing process and mitigating risk for those taking on new tenants.</p><p>But we are still at an early stage. The bill is entering the approval period, where questions on the detail behind the proposals can be answered and views sought. The bill must follow a set path before receiving Royal Assent and becoming law. The next
    step will be a second reading, giving MPs the opportunity to scrutinise the bill and make any amendments to the proposals. This will also be an opportunity for interested parties to contact their MP to put forward their views on the proposals.</p><p>The bill must then progress through committee, parliament, and the House of Lords before details are agreed and Royal Assent is sought. This is a lengthy process, with the time from bills being introduced to becoming law often exceeding 12 months.</p><h2>Current proposals include:</h2><p><strong>The end of the AST - </strong>Section 21 will be abolished, aiming to provide tenants with greater security. Fixed term tenancies will be scrapped, meaning a tenancy will end only if the tenant chooses to leave (usually by giving two months&rsquo;
    notice) or the landlord is able to provide a valid reason to end the tenancy. To assist with this Section 8 will be strengthened to allow landlords to recover their properties. From six months into the tenancy landlords may give the tenant notice
    (usually two months) to vacate if they are looking to move back into the property, sell or redevelop. Landlords can also gain possession if the tenant is in breach of their tenancy or falls into arrears.</p><p>If implemented, it is likely changes will apply first to new tenancies, with existing tenancies transitioned across into the new structure within a pre-defined period. There are some exemptions for students lets, however this could we be one of the elements
    of the bill where we see some changes introduced.</p><p><strong>Annual rental reviews&nbsp;</strong><strong>&ndash;</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong>Rental increases will be limited to one per year, with new powers for tenants to challenge above market rate rental increases through a tribunal.
</p><p><strong>Pets&nbsp;</strong><strong>&ndash;</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong>Landlords must have reasonable grounds to refuse a tenant the right to request a pet in their rented property. It is not yet clear what constitutes &lsquo;reasonable grounds&rsquo;,
    hopefully this will become clearer as the process progresses, but tenants who are refused can use the new redress scheme to refer the final decision to the ombudsman. For landlords, existing regulations will be strengthened to ensure tenants are liable
    for any damages caused by their pets.</p><p><strong>Redress scheme &ndash; </strong>Proposals for a single redress scheme for both landlords and tenants. The ombudsman will provide a free service if tenants have complaints regarding their landlord, the standard of the property, or any outstanding
    repairs. Under current proposals landlords would not be able to make a complaint about a tenant to the ombudsman but they could be offered mediation services to settle disputes between them and their tenants. Landlords would be required to join the
    scheme with local councils empowered to take enforcement action against those who fail to sign up. Lettings agents will not be required to join.</p><p><strong>New property portal &ndash; </strong>Landlords will need to sign up to a new property portal. This will be a digital record of the landlord and their properties. Landlords will need to be registered and keep records on themselves and their rental
    properties up to date to legally market a property to let. Proposals are for councils to have access to the portal to enable them to flag any unspent offences or restrictions in the landlord&rsquo;s name.</p><p>More detail on the bill can be found <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/guide-to-the-renters-reform-bill" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>Our team here at JLL will keep you updated throughout the process and are here to answer any questions you may have on the bill or the implications for you as a landlord or tenant.</p><h2>JLL Research | June 2023</h2><p>JLL is a leading global professional services firm specialising in real estate and investment management, with $16.6bn annual revenue in 2020, operations in over 80 countries and a global workforce of over 90,000.
