In cash terms the typical BN2 1 home went from £46,800 in 1995 to £390,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 283%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BN2 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 (+47.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−14.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +20.0% | +17.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 61 sales completed in BN2 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 456 sales a year before the financial crisis and 141 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.
The rental side of BN2 1
For renting purposes BN2 1 sits in Brighton and Hove. The ONS average private rent there is £1,816 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,193 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,495 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Brighton and Hove
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £390,000 median sold price, £1,816 a month is £21,792 a year, a gross yield of 5.6%: 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.
The shape of the BN2 1 market
Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the BN2 district median, BN2 1 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

35% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
