Bellsoph rental valuations are automated estimates based on advertised rental evidence and official statistics.

Somerset is below the South West average, despite faster annual growth
In September 2026, the average rent in Somerset was £1,021, compared with £1,251 across South West England. Somerset’s average was 18.4% lower than the regional figure. The ONS private rent statistics cover new and existing tenancies; these area averages are statistical context, not advertised rents or individual property comparables.
Somerset’s annual rent change was 6.3%. Its annual rate was 2.1 percentage points higher than the South West rate. This compares annual rent changes, not a change in the growth rate itself.
Bedroom averages provide a size-based reference
For September 2026, the averages were £695 for one bed, £918 for two bed, £1,142 for three bed and £1,628 for four or more bed. These category averages can help frame a rent by bedroom count, but are not listings or direct comparables.
The published step from three bed to four or more bed was £486 per month. Annual rates ranged from 6.0% for four or more bed to 6.7% for three bed; the difference between those rates was 0.7 percentage points.
Property-type averages offer another local check
In September 2026, averages ranged from £792 for Flat Maisonette to £1,399 for Detached. The figures for Terraced and Semi-detached were £1,022 and £1,103 respectively. These are statistical category averages, not evidence of comparable advertised properties.
Annual rates ranged from 5.9% for Detached to 6.6% for Semi-detached; the latter was 0.7 percentage points higher. Match a property to both its type and bedroom count where possible, while treating these broad averages as context.
