In cash terms the typical BN2 4 home went from £45,500 in 1995 to £348,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 252%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. 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 BN2 4 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 (+29.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.7% | −6.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 45 BN2 4 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 278 sales a year before the financial crisis and 111 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the BN2 4 market
Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BN2 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the BN2 district median, BN2 4 sits 18% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of BN2 4
BN2 4 falls under Brighton and Hove, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,816 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,193 a month here against £2,495 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Brighton and Hove
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £348,000 median sold price, £1,816 a month is £21,792 a year, a gross yield of 6.3%: 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
This is what you could actually buy today: 164 homes currently on the market from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BN2 district, not just BN2 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
35% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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.
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. 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%) |

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.
