Tap a column to sort. “£ a year” = change in the average monthly rent × 12. Scotland is published as 18 broad rental areas, not 32 councils. Northern Ireland has no council-level figures for September 2026 so is shown in the method notes only.

Wait, is this real?

Yes. Every number comes straight from the Office for National Statistics' official Price Index of Private Rents, published 9:30am on 21 October 2026. We haven't modelled or adjusted anything; we've just sorted it and put it on one page per area.

It's the average rent across all private tenancies (new lets and people already renting), not just asking prices on Rightmove, so it moves slower than the headline “new let” numbers you see elsewhere. Full method and caveats →
