About this data

Source: ONS, Price Index of Private Rents, October 2026

• Figures are for September each year, the latest month published. Annual change compares with September of the year before, so it starts in 2016.
• Scotland and Northern Ireland publish rents for rental market areas rather than council areas; these are not shown here.
• No figures are published for the City of London or the Isles of Scilly.
