Where to get the latest rent figures
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes private rental market statistics for local authorities, including Swindon (E06000030). Letting portals and property sites also publish monthly or quarterly rental indices. For the most current averages and trends, use ONS or a comparison of major portals.
Rent by area
Rents vary by postcode and area. Old Town and central Swindon often command a premium; suburbs and outlying villages can be lower or higher depending on demand and transport links. See our best areas to live in Swindon for an overview of neighbourhoods. When searching, filter by your budget and check whether bills are included.
What to consider when renting
Check the tenancy type (e.g. assured shorthold), deposit protection, and who is responsible for repairs. If you're new to the area, our moving to Swindon guide covers utilities, council tax, and GP registration. You'll usually need to pay council tax unless you're in exempt accommodation – see our council tax guide.
