The average cost of renting a home is close to £1,000 a month, as soaring demand pushes prices higher.

Renters are now paying £969 per month on average across the UK.

That's £62 a month more than at the beginning of the pandemic, according to the latest rental market report by property website Zoopla.

Here is a look at what the national average will get you for your money in Herefordshire.
