Below the regional rent average, with a faster annual rate
In September 2026, the average rent in Folkestone and Hythe was £1,189, compared with £1,438 across South East England. The local average was 17.3% lower than the regional benchmark.

Bedroom-count averages
In September 2026, average rents ranged from £812 for a one bed home to £1,739 for a four or more bed home. The averages were £1,041 for a two bed home and £1,298 for a three bed home. The step between the three bed and four or more bed categories was £441 a month.
Annual rates ranged from 9.7% for four or more bed homes to 10.4% for three bed homes; the rate for one bed homes was 10.0%. These are category averages rather than listings, so bedroom count is a useful starting point for setting statistical context, not a substitute for a like-for-like property comparison.

In September 2026, the average was £927 for Flat Maisonette homes, £1,213 for Terraced, £1,342 for Semi-detached and £1,625 for Detached. Among these categories, the Flat Maisonette average was lowest and the Detached average highest.
