What would your place rent for in Shropshire?

The £819 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 £605 and a 3-bed at £949 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.
