Broad rental market areas (BRMA)

The Rent Service has divided the country into broad rental market areas. A broad rental market area is an area which contains a wide mix of property types within a reasonable distance of various public amenities such as health, education, personal banking and shopping.

In Plymouth there is only one broad rental market area. The area used for this broad rental market area covers the whole of Plymouth and some surrounding areas.

From the information that is collected the figure that is the median of these rents will be the figure that is used as the local housing allowance rate. This will not take into account any rents from the area that are unusually high or low. Further information can be found on the Rent Service website.
