Demand for pet-friendly rental properties has more than doubled as enquiries to letting agents for pet-friendly rental homes are up 120% across England!
The ‘pandemic pet boom’ has seen more than a third of UK households become pet owners since the first lockdown period in March 2020. Over half of UK adults are now thought to own a pet, the majority dog (26%) or cat (24%) owners.
Tenants pay a premium for pet-friendly lets
Research has found 31% of renters are prepared to pay a premium (£40 per month outside of London, £50 in London) for a pet-friendly property. However, parking is the amenity that the highest proportion of renters are prepared to pay a premium for (38%).
