BN27 3 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.

| 1996 | £65,000 | £137,082 | 298 |
| 1995 | £61,500 | £133,692 | 267 |
In cash terms the typical BN27 3 home went from £61,500 in 1995 to £317,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 137%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN27 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 2002 (+21.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−22.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.8% | −3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.5% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
BN27 3 recorded 76 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 242 sales a year before the financial crisis and 174 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.
What homes rent for around BN27 3
BN27 3 falls under Wealden, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,266 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £899 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,096 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Wealden
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £317,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,266 a month (£15,192 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.

What is for sale in BN27 right now

21% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

What another bedroom costs in BN
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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
