There’s another reason some Harlow renters may want to investigate their mortgage position.
Average private rent in Harlow reached approximately £1,521 per month in August 2026.
Average rents were approximately £1,327 for two-bedroom properties and £1,573 for three-bedroom properties.
That doesn’t mean buying will necessarily be cheaper or more suitable than renting. Home ownership comes with additional costs and responsibilities, and mortgage repayments depend heavily on the amount borrowed, interest rate and mortgage term.

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
