In cash terms the typical BN3 2 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £385,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 294%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN3 2 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 (+28.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−12.5%). 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) | −12.5% | −14.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.3% | −5.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in BN3 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 328 sales a year before the financial crisis and 138 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 BN3 2
For renting purposes BN3 2 sits in Brighton and Hove. The ONS average private rent there is £1,816 a month (May 2026). 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.
Average monthly rent by size, Brighton and Hove
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,816 a month is £21,792 a year, which against the £385,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.7%. 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.
Reading the BN3 2 market
This is a thin market: 44 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within BN3, this sector trades 12% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
BN3 2 (Aldrington): the questions that come up
Is BN3 2 (Aldrington) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in BN3 2 (Aldrington)?
Are property prices falling in BN3 2 (Aldrington)?
Are BN3 2 prices heading up or down?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 6% over five years in cash but down 26% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
On the market in BN3 today
This is what you could actually buy today: 119 homes currently on the market from 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BN3 district, not just BN3 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
21% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £280,000 | £325,000 (+16%) | £400,000 (+23%) | £600,000 (+50%) | £835,000 (+39%) |

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.
