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.
Derby versus the East Midlands benchmark
In September 2026, Derby’s average rent was £871, which was 6.1% lower than the East Midlands average of £928. Derby’s annual rent change was 4.7%, and the annual rate was 0.9 percentage points higher than the regional rate.
These are ONS Private Rental Prices Index figures, so they are a statistical benchmark for new and existing tenancies rather than advertised rents or individual listings.

Annual rates ranged from 4.2% for four or more bed to 5.2% for three bed. The step between those two groups was 1.0 percentage points, so these figures are best read as size context rather than direct comparables for a specific home.
