Falling rent prices in Forest Hill - really?

Spotted this article this evening. I’m doubtful, but maybe others have experienced this?

You’d expect that headline to relate to all types of property, or at least to flats or houses, but it’s only about room prices - “Average room rents in Forest Hill fell by eight per cent to £874 per month, it found, down from £946 the previous year”.

Click-bait!

I asked a local estate agent whose view I always trust, and he made a couple of points - firstly that rents have risen so much that it was only a matter of time before there was some sort of correction. Though he added that he would say they are more steady than falling.
