A few thoughts:
Q3 of each year usually sees big spike in new tenancy registrations – much less evident in 2023 – lack of turnover in market now quite evident

New tenancy rental inflation remains v high (up 11% y-o-y), sitting tenants’ rents increase by less than half that rate (5.2% y-o-y). Biggest increases outside of major urban markets for both new & existing rents
