Local reference rent (LRR) levels in broad rental market areas, residential property in England, by number of rooms collection.

Interpreting the local reference rents tables

Users of the tables should note:

  • a local reference rent (LRR) determination does not exist until it is applied to a specific case
  • the figures in the tables are simply those agreed generally in discussions between Rent Officers and form the basis of their LRR determinations
  • they have no legal status
  • the LRR has no bearing on the housing benefit entitlement of private rented sector claimants where one of the other determinations that Rent Officers make is a lower figure
  • the VO seeks to ensure that the information published in the tables is up-to date and accurate as at the date shown however, none of the information on our website constitutes professional advice
  • the information in the LRR tables provides a general guide. It does not constitute any predictor or guaranteed indicator of how much housing benefit entitlement a claimant is likely to receive. Nor does the information provide any guaranteed indicator of the condition of or trends in the private rental market
  • the VO does not accept any liability for actions or judgments that housing benefit claimants or others take arising from their use of the tables below
  • the LRR tables are subject to Crown copyright
