Using these figures in Form 4A evidence

ONS averages cover new and existing tenancies, so in Kirklees they usually sit below what a similar home would be advertised for today. Use them as context, not as the market rent. A rent tribunal gives most weight to homes like yours let nearby recently. For a sense of scale: the average two-bedroom rent here is £714, and its +12.7% change over the year is about £91 a month.

  1. Note the ONS figure for your bedroom count (September 2026, released 21 October 2026) with its date.
