Ferring market report BN12 5, Worthing
The BN12 5 (Ferring) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 4,169 registered sales in BN12 5 (Worthing) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the 2026 median for BN12 5 (Worthing) is £462,500, from 40 registered sales, down 10% on five years earlier; the mean is £468,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,420 per square metre over the last five years.

BN12 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside BN12 (Worthing). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical BN12 5 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £462,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 166%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN12 5 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 1998 (+21.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−16.7%). 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) | −8.4% | −10.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.1% | −6.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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 5
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.
The register shows 40 BN12 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 151 sales a year before the financial crisis and 92 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.
What tenants pay around BN12 5
BN12 5 falls under Arun, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,224 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £845 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,974, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Arun
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £462,500 median sold price, £1,224 a month is £14,688 a year, a gross yield of 3.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How BN12 5 trades
This is a thin market: 40 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the BN12 district median, BN12 5 sits 15% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in BN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BN area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £280,000 | £325,000 (+16%) | £400,000 (+23%) | £600,000 (+50%) | £835,000 (+39%) |
| Flat | £207,000 | £275,000 (+33%) | £420,000 (+53%) | £645,000 (+54%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
