In cash terms the typical BN2 6 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £450,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 218%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BN2 6 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 (+36.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−9.4%). 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) | +12.6% | +10.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 37 BN2 6 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 178 sales a year before the financial crisis and 84 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around BN2 6
BN2 6 falls under Brighton and Hove, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,816 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Against the £450,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,816 a month (£21,792 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.
What kind of market BN2 6 is
This is a thin market: 37 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.

Moving up a bedroom in BN: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BN area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. 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.
