In cash terms the typical BN2 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 272%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BN2 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 (+25.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.3%). 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) | +6.3% | +3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £610,000 against £288,800 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

How many homes change hands in BN2
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 899 sales completed in BN2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 2,367 sales a year before the financial crisis and 970 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.
What homes rent for around BN2
For renting purposes BN2 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 £425,000 median sold price, £1,816 a month is £21,792 a year, a gross yield of 5.1%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in BN
Real sold prices by size across the BN area, straight 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
