In March’s rental market update, the rental landscapes in London, Amsterdam and Paris continue to evolve, with each market facing distinct challenges. In London, demand for rental homes has fallen by a fifth over the past year, but there are still 15 enquiries for every available property. In Amsterdam, the pressure on housing supply due to a raft of legislative changes has led to rising rents and a further reduction in available properties. Paris is also grappling with a significant decrease in the number of rental properties, with a 74% drop over the past three years.

In February’s rental market update for London, Amsterdam, and Paris, recent trends have been shaping the cost and availability of rental properties. In London, rents have been on a downward trend, with larger apartments becoming more expensive while smaller properties have decreased in cost. Amsterdam has seen substantial rent rises, especially in the suburbs, making it more expensive to rent one- and three-bedroom apartments. Paris, on the other hand, is preparing for changes that may affect professional relocators, such as increased parking fees for SUVs and heavy vehicles. Additionally, Paris has experienced a mix of rental reductions and increases across different property types.
