In cash terms the typical BN22 7 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £267,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 173%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 16% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN22 7 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 2002 (+31.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.3%). 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) | +5.4% | +2.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
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.
BN22 7 recorded 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 182 sales a year before the financial crisis and 78 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 BN22 7 trades
This is a thin market: 25 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.
Rents around BN22 7
The local authority for BN22 7 is Eastbourne, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,162 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £814 a month here against £1,787 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,162 a month is £13,944 a year, which against the £267,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The price of an extra bedroom in BN
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%) |
| Semi-detached | £305,000 | £345,000 (+13%) | £420,500 (+22%) | £580,000 (+38%) | £935,000 (+61%) |

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.
