Using these figures in Form 4A evidence

ONS averages cover new and existing tenancies, so in West Lindsey they usually sit below what a similar home would be advertised for today. Use them as context, not as the market rent. A rent tribunal gives most weight to homes like yours let nearby recently. For a sense of scale: the average two-bedroom rent here is £676, and its +9.5% change over the year is about £64 a month.
