Bellsoph rental valuations are automated estimates based on advertised rental evidence and official statistics. They are not a formal or RICS valuation or financial advice, and achieved rents depend on condition, presentation, timing and demand. Market data: ONS Price Index of Private Rents and UK House Price Index, September 2026.
Headline rent against the regional benchmark
In September 2026, Brighton and Hove’s average rent was £1,816, compared with £1,438 across South East England. The local average was 26.3% higher than the regional figure, while its annual rate was 4.3 percentage points lower than the benchmark.
The average was £14 lower than in September 2025. These are ONS Private Rents and House Prices statistics, covering new and existing tenancies: they provide statistical context, not advertised rents or individual property comparables.
Bedroom-size reference points
For a size-based reference in September 2026, the average was £1,525 for a two bed, £1,806 for a three bed and £2,489 for a four or more bed. The published average step between the latter two groups was £683 a month; this compares different property groups, rather than measuring the effect of adding a room to an individual home.
The annual rate was -0.3% for a three bed and -1.2% for a four or more bed. These figures are benchmarks by bedroom count, not listings or direct comparables; other property characteristics also distinguish individual homes.
