Friday Street market report BN23 6, Eastbourne

Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 4,239 sales registered with HM Land Registry in BN23 6 (Eastbourne) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 37 registered 2026 sales put the BN23 6 (Eastbourne) median at £300,000, down 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £300,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,850 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,239 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
BN23 6 is one sector of BN23 (Eastbourne): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical BN23 6 home went from £56,100 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 146%, 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 22% 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 BN23 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 2003 (+27.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.1%). 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) | −4.8% | −7.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 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.
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 37 BN23 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 173 sales a year before the financial crisis and 87 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.
What kind of market BN23 6 is
Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BN23 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
The rental side of BN23 6
BN23 6 falls under Eastbourne, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,162 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £814 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,787 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Eastbourne
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £300,000 median sold price, £1,162 a month is £13,944 a year, a gross yield of 4.6%: 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.

Are property prices falling in BN23 6 (Friday Street)?
Is BN23 6 (Friday Street) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in BN23 6 (Friday Street)?
Where do BN23 6 prices go next?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 22% after inflation.

On the market in BN23 today
The live side of the market holds 104 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BN23 district, not just BN23 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
32% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. 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.
The price of an extra bedroom in BN
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
