In cash terms the typical BN17 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 179%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 22% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BN17 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 (+21.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.9%). 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 terraced homes dominate the record here, 34% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £431,000 against £160,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |

| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +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 BN17
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.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
BN17 recorded 411 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 927 sales a year before the financial crisis and 433 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.
Reading the BN17 market

Rents around BN17
BN17 falls under Arun, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,224 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £845 a month here against £1,974 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Arun
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £285,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,224 a month (£14,688 a year) works out at a 5.2% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in BN: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the BN area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

| Detached | — | £390,000 | £519,972 (+33%) | £810,000 (+56%) | £1,170,000 (+44%) |
