In cash terms the typical BN13 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 165%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN13 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 (+21.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £452,500 against £214,000 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −5.5% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.5% | −2.8% |

| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Sales activity in BN13
How many homes change hands
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 370 sales completed in BN13. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 723 sales a year before the financial crisis and 419 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
BN13 falls under Worthing, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £345,000 median sold price, £1,311 a month is £15,732 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: 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.

On the market in BN13 today
Everything above is what homes in BN13 sold for. The live side of the market holds 5 homes at the moment, listed by an agent publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 23% above the BN13 median sold price.
Set against 370 registered sales in the last twelve months, the 5 homes on the market here are roughly a week of supply at last year's pace, and more in reality, since only agents who publish to HomesIndex are counted. Supply that short favours the seller; a sensibly priced home here does not sit for long.
0% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

Month by month: when BN13 sells
Across the 2,512 sales completed in BN13 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (11.2% of the total) and April the quietest (6.3%). That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.

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. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £365,000 | £410,000 (+12%) | £480,000 (+17%) | £625,000 (+30%) | £880,000 (+41%) |
| Semi-detached | £299,000 | £327,000 (+9%) | £385,000 (+18%) | £500,000 (+30%) | £697,500 (+40%) |

| Flat | £195,000 | £260,000 (+33%) | £350,000 (+35%) | £450,000 (+29%) | £585,000 (+30%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
