In cash terms the typical BN27 4 home went from £80,500 in 1995 to £390,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 123%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 12% 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 BN27 4 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 (+34.1% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−14.3%). 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) | +13.0% | +10.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.3% | +1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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 4
The year-by-year sales count
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, 30 sales completed in BN27 4. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 111 sales a year over the last five years against 90 before the financial crisis. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the BN27 4 market
This is a thin market: 30 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. Within BN27, this sector trades 30% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around BN27 4
The local authority for BN27 4 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 £390,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.9%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in BN
Real sold prices by size across the BN area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

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.
