Rental Demand Remains High Across the Region

Throughout 2025, we’ve continued to see strong tenant demand across Telford, Shrewsbury, Stafford and Wolverhampton.The shortage of good-quality homes to rent has meant properties in desirable locations, especially family houses and modern apartments, have been letting very quickly.

That pattern is expected to carry into early 2026, with demand remaining consistent and well-priced, well-presented homes continuing to achieve excellent rental returns.

Tenants Are Looking for Long-Term Homes

More people are choosing to rent for longer, whether for flexibility, convenience or while saving for a deposit.This has created a reliable pool of long-term tenants who are looking for stability, making it an ideal time for landlords seeking steady, secure income.
