Notes:

The data shown in these tables are taken from a survey of a private renting website (Rightmove). A cut of the data on the site is taken in early April each year and information on rental price, letting terms, location and property type are extracted.

It is acknowledged that the survey does not capture the full scope of the private rented sector in . To do this would take considerable additional resources to trawl a range of private renting web portals and on the ground collection from shop notice boards etc. Instead this aims to capture private renting data at a consistant point in the market and as the private renting market moves, so the survey results should broadly reflect this change.

While all rental data has been provided, care should be taken when looking at 5 bedroom and larger properties, due to the large variation in number and individual rental costs. Some districts have very few properties at this size, while others have many. Comparisions are best made between bedsit/shares to 4 beds and for all bedrooms across districts.

Some districts have far more properties for let than others particular submarkets within their areas. (student accommodation) and (city centre) are 2 notable examples.

Across Selly Oak district, there has been a change in how the student housing is being marketed in 2016. Fewer properties are being offered as a shared dwelling, instead being adverised as a large (5 bed or more) house. Equally it is not clear how the recent proliferation of purpose built student housing, which is not frequently adveristed on the website used for monintoring, is affecting prices.

Note should also be made of the closure of the campus of Birmingham City University, and reduction in properties for let, especially share/bedsit units in Perry Barr district.
