In the BN3 1 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £310,000, from 63 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £389,900, sitting well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
Price per square metre in BN3 1
The last five years of sales put BN3 1 at roughly £5,850 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.

In cash terms the typical BN3 1 home went from £43,000 in 1995 to £310,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 232%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 30% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN3 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 2000 (+36.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.7%). 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) | −9.0% | −11.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.8% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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
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.
BN3 1 recorded 63 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 487 sales a year before the financial crisis and 194 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 BN3 1
The local authority for BN3 1 is Brighton and Hove, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,816 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,193 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,495 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £310,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,816 a month (£21,792 a year) works out at a 7.0% 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 price of an extra bedroom 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £390,000 | £519,972 (+33%) | £810,000 (+56%) | £1,170,000 (+44%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
