Rental rates reportedly rose 10 % in October in the UK , defying the seasonal dip in prices that normally hits in the Autumn ; this figure comes from the monthly Landbay Rental Index . While overall rents rose on both a monthly and yearly basis , Scotland saw a marginal monthly fall of 0.1 % to £ 696 . The autumn seasonal slowdown in the rental market is normally caused by lower tenant demand from students, first jobbers moving for work, and annual contracts that originated in previous summer rental rushes expiring. This data suggests that the regular slowdown in Autumn is due to lower housing demand from London , people moving to start jobs , and annual contracts that originated in previous monthly rental ##s expiring . Predictably , the increases were driven by the South Bank .
