Frome's Rental Market: A Decade of Change

The private rented sector in [Grantham] has undergone some noticeable shifts over the last ten years, with different areas experiencing varying levels of growth, stability, and decline.

🔵 Growth Areas – The blue-shaded sections on the map indicate an increase in private rented households. A rise in supply of rental properties, potentially driven by affordability, lifestyle changes, or an influx of tenants looking for flexibility.

⚪ Stable Areas – The cream-coloured zones represent little to no change in rental levels. Here, the balance between landlords, tenants, and owner-occupiers has remained steady over the decade.

🟠 Declining Areas – The peach-coloured regions highlight a drop in private rented households. This could be due to landlords selling up, shifting market conditions, or an increase in owner-occupation.

Do bedrooms affect the saleability of your home?

Bedrooms matter when it comes to selling your home, but not in the way you might think. According to UK Property Market data from Denton House Research, in 2024, homes with three bedrooms have the highest success rate of selling and completing, with 58.9% successfully sold compared to being withdrawn from the market. Two-bedroom homes also perform well, at 56.6%.

In contrast, one-bedroom properties struggle, with just 47.1% completing. Interestingly, larger homes with five or more bedrooms fare the worst, with only 41.2% reaching completion. Four-bedroom homes sit in the middle, at 47.9%.

Rental Market Squeeze: Why Fewer UK Homes Are Available to Rent

Despite the overall number of rental properties in the UK remaining relatively stable—around 4.87 million in 2024 compared to 4.85 million in 2017—the availability of rental homes on the market has declined sharply in many regions. This isn't because landlords are exiting en masse, but because fewer properties are being listed as tenants are staying put longer. With rents rising due to high demand and limited supply, tenants are less inclined to move, reducing turnover and leaving fewer options for those entering the market.
