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.
Dartford rents sit above the South East average
In September 2026, the average rent in Dartford was £1,580, compared with £1,438 across the South East. Dartford’s average was 9.9% higher than the regional figure, while its annual rate of rent change was 0.3 percentage points lower than the regional rate. The higher rent level and lower annual rate are distinct comparisons; they do not show that the gap has widened or narrowed.
These ONS Private Rental Prices Index figures include new and existing tenancies. They are statistical averages, not advertised rents or listings for directly comparable properties.
Bedroom count gives a useful rent benchmark
For September 2026, Dartford’s average was £1,424 for a two bed property and £1,716 for a three bed property. The published averages extend from £1,095 for a one bed to £2,377 for a four or more bed. Match bedroom count alongside other relevant features when using these figures as context; they are not individual property comparables.
The annual rates varied by bedroom category: three bed rents changed by 3.7%, compared with 2.9% for four or more bed properties. This describes different category averages, not the effect of adding a room to the same property.
Property type averages also differ
In September 2026, average rents ranged from £1,280 for Flat Maisonette properties to £2,305 for Detached properties. For a closer type-based reference, the averages were £1,585 for Terraced and £1,712 for Semi-detached homes.
Among these categories, the annual rate of change was 3.6% for Terraced properties and 2.9% for Flat Maisonette properties. Type averages can help frame a benchmark, but do not replace evidence from comparable listings, which is not provided here.
