UK landlords have experienced a significant curtailment in the collection of rent for the March quarter. When reflecting on rental collection 10 days after the March quarter date, only 49.7% of rent due had been received, which contrasts to an average of 69.7% collection from the last two years.

There is notable cash collection variance across asset classes, however. Comparing rental collection 10 days after the March quarter date to its two-year average, office assets have proved most resilient.

This data has been collected, anonymised and aggregated from over 10,000 properties and 35,000 leases in the UK. Re-Leased Software Company Ltd are confident in the validity of this data as its formation is a direct result of bank statements entries being matched and reconciled to rental invoices.

Wherever the term ‘Baseline’ is used in the report, it refers to an aggregation and average of rental collection rates for invoices due on the first of each month between April 2018 to February 2020 (AUS and NZ) or an average of each traditional quarter day between 25 March 2018 and December 2019 (UK).

All data that has been aggregated for this report is in line with the following Re-Leased Terms and Conditions as at the time of publishing.
