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.
Oxford averages are well above the South East benchmark
In September 2026, the average rent in Oxford was £1,957, compared with £1,438 across South East England. Oxford’s average was 36.1% higher than the regional figure. These area-level statistics provide context, not advertised rents or direct comparables for a particular home.
Oxford’s annual rent change was 2.4%. Its annual rate was 1.1 percentage points lower than the South East rate. The average rent was 0.3% lower on the month; separately, the annual rate was 1.1 percentage points lower than in the previous calendar month.
Bedroom counts provide a useful size benchmark
In September 2026, the average for one bed homes was £1,346, compared with £2,030 for three bed homes and £2,850 for four or more bed homes. The figures compare different homes; they do not indicate the expected rent change from adding a room to an individual property.
Annual rent growth was highest among these bedroom categories for three bed at 2.9%, and lowest for four or more bed at 1.9%. Use the category that best matches the property’s size as statistical context, rather than as a direct comparable.
Property type also affects the benchmark
In September 2026, the published averages ranged from Flat Maisonette at £1,551 to Detached at £2,587. Among the listed types, annual rent growth was highest for Semi-detached at 2.7% and lowest for Flat Maisonette at 2.2%. These are statistical category averages, not a set of local rental listings; compare a property with the category that most closely fits its type.
