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.

These are ONS Private Rental Prices Index statistics, covering new and existing tenancies. They provide area-level context, not advertised rents or comparable listings for an individual property.
Bedroom-count context
For a property with a similar bedroom count, the September 2026 averages were £459 for one bed, £582 for two bed, £697 for three bed and £1,004 for four or more bed. The figures are statistical averages, not direct comparisons with a particular home.
Annual rent growth ranged from 5.5% for four or more bed to 6.7% for two bed. Match bedroom count alongside property condition and location when using these figures as context.
Rents by property type
The September 2026 averages by type were £549 for Flat Maisonette, £686 for Terraced, £687 for Semi-detached and £882 for Detached. These area-level figures can help frame a type-specific comparison, but are not actual comparable listings.
Annual growth was 6.5% for Terraced and 5.5% for Detached; the type averages do not show what a particular property would let for.
