Everything on UK Property Portal is free, and stays free. Alongside it we’re building a members area for the people who need to do something with the data — challenge a rent increase, defend one, keep track of what your own area is doing. It isn’t open yet, and there isn’t a launch date to give you. Here’s exactly what’s coming and how far along each piece actually is.
A formatted PDF you can take to a First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) rent case: the official average rent for your area and bedroom size, how it has moved over twelve months, how the area compares to its region and to England, and a sourced, dated reference for every figure on the page. Written for both sides — challenging a Section 13 increase as a tenant, or setting a defensible one as a landlord. Every number comes from the ONS Price Index of Private Rents. It is data context, not a valuation and not legal advice.
Status: the report generator is finished and produces real PDFs for all 294 local authorities we publish. What isn’t built is checkout — so nothing is for sale yet.
The ONS updates its rent figures every month, and quietly revises earlier ones. If you’re mid-negotiation, mid-dispute, or just holding property somewhere specific, that movement matters and almost nobody watches it. The plan is a short email when the figures for the areas you care about change — including when a previously published number is revised.
Status: the pipeline already tracks monthly releases and revisions per area — you can see revision notes inside our existing evidence packs. Turning that into per-member alerts is the part still being built.
We already publish rent and yield data for 294 English local authorities, but one area at a time. If you hold property in several areas, or want to sanity-check one against its neighbours, you want them side by side — rent levels, twelve-month movement and gross yield in one view, with the same sourcing discipline, and exportable.
Status: the underlying data is live and free to browse today. The comparison tool itself is planned, not built.
In the meantime, everything we publish stays free and open — city rent guides, the rental yield index, the PRS database checker and the weekly brief. The members area adds to that; it takes nothing away.
Register your interest and we’ll email you when the members area is ready, with early access before it goes out more widely. We won’t email you about it until there is something real to show you — no countdowns, no teasers.
You’re registering interest in the members area — not buying anything, and not creating an account. You’ll also get our free weekly newsletter, and you accept our Privacy Policy. Unsubscribe anytime.
