Using these figures in Form 4A evidence

ONS averages cover new and existing tenancies, so in Northumberland 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 £631, and its +7.2% change over the year is about £45 a month.

  1. Note the ONS figure for your bedroom count (September 2026, released 21 October 2026) with its date.
  2. Log three or more comparable lettings in Northumberland from the last six months.
  3. Check the dates with the section 13 calculator, then serve Form 4A.
