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.

Bristol is above the South West rent benchmark
ONS private rent statistics put Bristol’s average at £1,893 in September 2026, compared with £1,251 for South West England. The Bristol average was 51.3% higher than the regional average. Bristol’s annual rent rate was 1.5 percentage points higher than the benchmark’s.
These figures provide area-level context, not advertised rents or direct comparables for an individual property. The statistics include new and existing tenancies.
Bedroom averages provide a size-based reference
In September 2026, the average was £1,230 for a one bed, £1,551 for a two bed, £1,769 for a three bed and £2,558 for a four or more bed. The largest published adjacent rent step was between three bed and four or more bed, at £789 per month. This compares averages for different homes; it is not the rent effect of adding a bedroom to one property.
Annual rent rates varied by bedroom band: the three bed rate was 6.2%, the highest, while the four or more bed rate was 5.2%, the lowest. Use the category closest to the property’s bedroom count as statistical context, rather than as a direct comparable.
Property type averages add another point of reference
For September 2026, the average was £1,514 for a Flat Maisonette and £2,103 for a Semi-detached. Their annual rent rates were 5.3% and 6.0% respectively. These are statistical averages by property type, not a set of local listings or direct matches for a particular home.
