Private rents in Colchester average £1,196 a month across all property sizes, up 2.3% over the last year. These are the official Office for National Statistics figures, not portal asking rents, so they reflect what tenants actually pay.
The £1,196 average above is the whole district, every size and condition mixed together. It's a fair sanity check, but it isn't a valuation of one property, and the gap between a 1-bed at £819 and a 3-bed at £1,299 shows why. For an actual figure you need the specific address: its size, its EPC, its street, and what comparable homes nearby genuinely let for.
