In cash terms the typical BN25 3 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £348,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 169%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 23% 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 BN25 3 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 (+27.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.9% | −8.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 55 sales completed in BN25 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 205 sales a year before the financial crisis and 106 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.
Rents around BN25 3
BN25 3 falls under Lewes, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,323 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £917 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,158 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Lewes
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £348,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,323 a month (£15,876 a year) works out at a 4.6% 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.
The shape of the BN25 3 market
This is a thin market: 55 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.

BN25's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 60 homes at the moment, listed by 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BN25 district, not just BN25 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
18% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.

Bedroom by bedroom: BN prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BN area, from the Land Registry record. 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £305,000 | £345,000 (+13%) | £420,500 (+22%) | £580,000 (+38%) | £935,000 (+61%) |
| Terraced | £280,000 | £325,000 (+16%) | £400,000 (+23%) | £600,000 (+50%) | £835,000 (+39%) |
| Flat | £207,000 | £275,000 (+33%) | £420,000 (+53%) | £645,000 (+54%) | — |
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.
