| 1995 | £72,200 | £156,952 | 178 |
In cash terms the typical BN12 4 home went from £72,200 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 168%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 35% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN12 4 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2022 (+30.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−10.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −10.6% | −12.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in BN12 4
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
BN12 4 recorded 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 226 sales a year before the financial crisis and 119 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around BN12 4
BN12 4 falls under Worthing, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,311 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £899 a month here against £1,954 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Worthing
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,311 a month is £15,732 a year, which against the £420,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market BN12 4 is
Only 51 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BN12 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Moving up a bedroom in BN: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BN area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £390,000 | £519,972 (+33%) | £810,000 (+56%) | £1,170,000 (+44%) |
| Semi-detached | £305,000 | £345,000 (+13%) | £420,500 (+22%) | £580,000 (+38%) | £935,000 (+61%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
