In cash terms the typical BN25 home went from £63,000 in 1995 to £370,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 170%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BN25 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 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.2%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 41% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £490,000 against £190,000 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
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 monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 336 sales completed in BN25. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 677 sales a year before the financial crisis and 357 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.
The rental side of BN25
For renting purposes BN25 sits in Lewes. The ONS average private rent there is £1,323 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £917 a month here against £2,158 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Lewes
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £370,000 median sold price, £1,323 a month is £15,876 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: 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.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £390,000 | £519,972 (+33%) | £810,000 (+56%) | £1,170,000 (+44%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
