Private rents in Dorset average £1,051 a month across all property sizes, up 4.8% 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 £1,051 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 £728 and a 3-bed at £1,184 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.
