BN13 3 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical BN13 3 home went from £74,000 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN13 3 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 2000 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BN13 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −8.6% | −10.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 61 BN13 3 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 224 sales a year before the financial crisis and 170 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 homes rent for around BN13 3
The local authority for BN13 3 is Worthing, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £370,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,311 a month (£15,732 a year) works out at a 4.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

What another bedroom costs in BN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BN area. 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.
