This brought voids below the year to date average of 19.5 days.
The average void period for 2021 to date is 28% lower across the country compared to 2020 figures.
The biggest shift in voids in November was seen in the East Midlands, where averages dropped from 24 days to 16, a 33% reduction.
The North East also saw a big shift, from 20 days to 16, a drop of 20%.
Only two regions recorded an increase in voids – there was an increase in the West Midlands, from 19 to 21 days on average, and in the South West, with average voids rising from 17 days to 23 days.
The average price of rent across England is currently 8% higher this year compared to 2020 and the average price of rent for a property dropped by 2.5%, moving down from £1,006 in October to £980 in November.
The biggest change was seen in the East Midlands, which recorded a 5% reduction in the price of rent.
All other regions recorded reductions in the average rental price of between 1% and 3.5%.
The only region to see an increase was the West Midlands, although this was a negligible jump of just 0.15%.
Overall, November rental prices (£980) were also exactly the same as the year-to-date average of £979.
Tom Mundy, chief operating officer at Goodlord, said: “We would expect a slight slow down in December as moving plans get put on hold until after Christmas, so to see the market enjoy such a healthy November is really encouraging.
“Demand remains exceptionally high; something you can see reflected in the void periods, which remain much lower year-on-year.
“And whilst a slight dip in rental costs is being capitalised on by tenants, annual averages remain way up. We predict a very busy market in early 2022.
“There is still huge demand for properties and lots of tenants on the hunt for a new home, so agents should be prepared to cater to that come the New Year.”
