This includes Slough, where rents are up by almost a third, from £1,167 in June 2022 to £1,529 in June 2025.
Kevin Sims, director of shared ownership company SO Resi, said the Elizabeth line had made the Berkshire town considerably more desirable.
“Slough is big, and it’s getting bigger. We had 56 properties advertised on the London Living Rent scheme in Slough, and had 1,300 inquiries,” he said.
Mr Sims argued that the Elizabeth line had opened up Slough to a “new type of renter”, with more families and middle-aged couples.
