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.

Merton rents sit below the London average, but have risen faster
In September 2026, the average rent in Merton was £2,181, compared with £2,338 across Greater London. Merton’s average was 6.7% lower than the regional figure, while its annual rate of rent change was 2.0 percentage points higher than Greater London’s.
These ONS Private Rents data cover new and existing tenancies. They provide statistical context, not advertised rents or comparable listings for a particular property.
Bedroom averages offer a size-based reference
For September 2026, the average was £1,645 for a one bed, £2,032 for a two bed, £2,418 for a three bed and £3,281 for a four or more bed. The corresponding annual rates were 5.6%, 5.7%, 6.0% and 4.9%.
The figures can help frame a rent comparison by bedroom count, but each is an area-wide average rather than a listing for a directly comparable home.
Property-type averages add another point of comparison
In September 2026, average rents ranged from £1,938 for a Flat Maisonette to £2,981 for a Semi-detached. The averages for a Terraced and Detached were £2,474 and £2,935 respectively.
Annual rates differed too: 5.9% for Terraced and 5.1% for Detached. These broad property-type categories are statistical context, not evidence of the rent for an individual home.
