Plymouth rent sat below the South West average in September 2026
In September 2026, Plymouth’s average rent was £1,008. This is ONS private rents context: the measure includes new and existing tenancies, so it is a statistical average rather than an advertised rent or a direct comparable for an individual home.
The South West England average was £1,251. Plymouth’s average was 19.4% lower than the regional figure. Plymouth’s annual rent change was 4.4%, which was 0.2 percentage points higher than the South West rate.
Bedroom averages give the clearest size benchmark
For size-based context in September 2026, the one bed average was £707, rising to £889 for two bed, £1,069 for three bed and £1,498 for four or more bed. These are category averages, not comparable listings, so the closest bedroom band is the most useful reference point when checking a specific property.
The annual rates also varied by bedroom count: one bed was 4.2%, two bed 4.4%, three bed 4.8% and four or more bed 4.0%. The highest rate was for three bed homes, while the lowest was for four or more bed homes. That describes divergence between categories, not a change in growth itself.
The step from three bed to four or more bed was £429, or 40.1%, higher at the next size band. Over twelve months, that gap amounts to £5,148.
Property type averages point to a wide spread across the market
Among property types in September 2026, the averages were £802 for Flat Maisonette, £1,050 for Terraced, £1,067 for Semi-detached and £1,322 for Detached. These broad categories help frame a rent check, but they are not rents for specific properties or evidence of comparable listings.
Annual rates ranged from 3.9% for Flat Maisonette to 4.8% for Semi-detached. Detached was 4.3% and Terraced was 4.5%, so the type averages show another useful benchmark, separate from the bedroom bands.
The Semi-detached rate was 0.9 percentage points higher than Flat Maisonette.
