BN27 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside BN27 (Hailsham). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical BN27 1 home went from £57,000 in 1995 to £294,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 137%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN27 1 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 (+33.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−13.8%). 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) | −13.8% | −15.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.0% | −6.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Sales activity in BN27 1
How many homes change hands
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 register shows 54 BN27 1 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 170 sales a year before the financial crisis and 132 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 homes rent for around BN27 1
The local authority for BN27 1 is Wealden, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,266 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £899 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,096, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Wealden
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,266 a month is £15,192 a year, which against the £294,200 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.
How BN27 1 trades
Only 54 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BN27 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

Moving up a bedroom in BN: the cost
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%) |
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
