Tamworth rents were broadly flat over the past year. The ONS put the average at £925 a month in August 2026, up just 0.5%. Under the Renters’ Rights Act, that matters more than you might think.
Why flat rents change your rent review
Rent can go up once a year through a Section 13 notice with at least two months’ notice. If a tenant thinks the new rent is above market level, they can take it to a tribunal.
In a market where rents are stable, an increase that outpaces local comparables is easier to challenge. For many Tamworth landlords, keeping a reliable tenant may be worth more than a small rise.

- Every let property in the region must be registered by 14 March 2027.

If you’re re-letting
Families looking for space around Wilnecote, Amington and Glascote, and commuters using Tamworth station, are a big part of local demand. When you re-let:
- advertise a fixed rent and don’t accept higher offers
- Take no more than one month’s rent in advance
- avoid blanket bans on pets, children or tenants receiving benefits
- reply to pet requests within 28 days.
Keep your records straight
Existing written tenancies needed the government information sheet by 31 May 2026. Without Section 21, possession depends on proving a specific ground, so keep rent records, messages and certificates up to date.

- Rent review checked against Tamworth comparables.

- Register documents gathered before 15 December 2026.
