Cambridge rents remain well above the East of England average
ONS private rent statistics put Cambridge at £1,805 in September 2026, compared with £1,298 across the East of England. Cambridge was 39.1% higher than the regional average. The monthly figure was unchanged at £1,805, and the annual rent change was 1.9% higher.
The annual rate was 1.9 percentage points lower than the regional rate. ONS private rent data includes new and existing tenancies, so this is area-level statistical context rather than a list of advertised comparables.
Bedroom categories provide the clearest size benchmark
In September 2026, the published averages were one bed at £1,255, two bed at £1,613, three bed at £1,908 and four or more bed at £2,657. These are category averages, not individual property valuations, but they are useful for matching a property's size to the local rent structure.
Annual rent growth was highest for three bed at 2.3% and lowest for four or more bed at 1.5%. The gap between those growth rates was 0.8 percentage points. The step from three bed to four or more bed was £749 or 39.3%; over twelve months that step equates to £8,988.
Property-type averages also differ materially
For September 2026, the lowest published type average was Flat Maisonette at £1,454, while Detached was highest at £2,344. The other type figures were Terraced at £1,834 and Semi-detached at £2,010. These are statistical averages by type, not actual comparable listings.
Annual rent growth was 1.6% for Flat Maisonette, 2.0% for Terraced, 1.7% for Detached and 2.2% for Semi-detached. The gap between Semi-detached and Flat Maisonette growth was 0.6 percentage points.
