BN13 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside BN13 (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.

| 1995 | £54,400 | £118,257 | 180 |
In cash terms the typical BN13 1 home went from £54,400 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 196%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN13 1 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 2001 (+28.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.4%). 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) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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 51 BN13 1 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 219 sales a year before the financial crisis and 112 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around BN13 1
The local authority for BN13 1 is Worthing, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,311 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £899 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,954 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Worthing
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £350,000 median sold price, £1,311 a month is £15,732 a year, a gross yield of 4.5%: 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.
Reading the BN13 1 market
Only 51 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BN13 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

How much did a house sell for in BN13 1 (Clapham)?

The price of an extra bedroom in BN
Real sold prices by size across the BN area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
