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.

Leicester rents sit above the regional average
The ONS Private Rents Index of Private Housing (PIPR) puts Leicester’s average rent at £1,020 in September 2026, compared with £928 across the East Midlands. The local average was 9.9% higher than the regional figure, while Leicester’s annual rent increase of 0.9% was 2.9 percentage points lower than the regional annual rate. These averages include new and existing tenancies; they are statistical context, not advertised rents or individual property comparables.
Bedroom counts provide a useful rent range
In September 2026, average rents ranged from £713 for a one bed to £1,450 for a four or more bed. The intermediate averages were £890 for a two bed and £1,043 for a three bed. Annual rates varied: the three bed category recorded 1.4%, compared with 0.4% for four or more bed. Match these broad categories cautiously to the size and features of a particular home; the figures are not like-for-like listings.
Property type averages add another point of reference
The published averages for September 2026 were £796 for Flat Maisonette, £1,006 for Terraced, £1,071 for Semi-detached and £1,352 for Detached. Annual rates ranged from 0.4% for Flat Maisonette to 1.2% for Semi-detached. These are area-level averages by property type, rather than evidence of rents for individual available homes.
