Data as of July 2026 · computed by Flatscout from live cross-portal listings and official open data
Hull is consistently among the cheapest cities in England to rent a whole house: terraces off Beverley Road and Holderness Road let for less than a room costs in the south, while The Avenues and the marina fringe carry what passes for the city's premium.
Hull currently has 716 live rental listings across the portals Flatscout tracks — Rightmove, Zoopla and SpareRoom — with a median asking rent of £700 a month for a whole property. Rooms in shared homes start lower, and the by-postcode table below shows how much the same budget buys in different corners of the city.
Everything on this page is computed from listings Flatscout scrapes and de-duplicates around the clock, joined with official open data: the ONS Price Index of Private Rents for the long-run trend, ONS earnings data for affordability, police.uk street-level crime, VOA council-tax bands, Ofcom broadband coverage, and EPC certificates matched to the homes actually being advertised right now. Figures refresh continuously — the numbers below were last computed in July 2026.
If you're actively hunting, the data has one practical message: well-priced Hull rentals go in hours, not days. Flatscout watches every portal and can alert you by email, WhatsApp or Telegram within minutes of a matching listing appearing — before most renters have refreshed the app.

The ONS Price Index of Private Rents puts the average rent across ALL Hull tenancies at £690/mo in June 2026 — up 7.2% on a year earlier. In January 2020 it was £494/mo. The ONS average sits below asking-rent medians because it includes existing tenancies, not just newly advertised homes.
Renting at the ONS average of £690/mo takes roughly 30% of the local median gross salary of £27,309 a year (ONS ASHE 2025). The conventional affordability threshold is 30%.
Of 716 live listings, 49% advertise a garden and 13% advertise parking. Portals under-report features, so treat these as a floor.
