In cash terms the typical BN2 3 home went from £43,100 in 1995 to £369,200 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 294%, 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 20% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN2 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 2001 (+37.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BN2 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +11.9% | +9.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 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.
Sales activity in BN2 3
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 58 sales completed in BN2 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 348 sales a year before the financial crisis and 139 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.
How BN2 3 trades
This is a thin market: 58 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Against the BN2 district median, BN2 3 sits 13% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around BN2 3
For renting purposes BN2 3 sits in Brighton and Hove. The ONS average private rent there is £1,816 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,193 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,495, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Brighton and Hove
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £369,200 median sold price, £1,816 a month is £21,792 a year, a gross yield of 5.9%: 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.

BN2's current homes for sale

Of everything listed here, 35% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

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
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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
