The December 2023 Locked Out of the Market report found 1149 properties available to rent at any price within the 16 study areas over the three dates surveyed. This represents a 28% (248) increase from the 901 properties available in the September 2023 Locked Out Report.
33 properties were found to be available to rent within standard and discretionary HAP limits; a 22% increase since the September 2023 report which recorded 27 properties. However, just under 3% of all properties available to rent examined in this study were available through HAP. This is the same as September 2023. Just two properties were available within standard HAP limits, a reduction from the three available in the September 2023 Locked Out report.
