Rent rockets in London and the South-East | This is Money

A spring surge in demand from tenants pushed rents back up to record high levels during April, according to Britain's biggest lettings agency.

The typical cost of renting a home jumped by 0.8% during the month to £692, matching the record reached in November last year before rents suffered a seasonal downturn, according to LSL Property Services.

The latest jump has pushed rents 4.4% or £30 a month higher than they were in April last year, the strongest annual growth rate since November 2010.
