In cash terms the typical BN3 3 home went from £39,000 in 1995 to £360,000 in 2026, roughly 9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 325%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN3 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 2000 (+30.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.8%). 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) | +2.9% | +0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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
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.
The register shows 83 BN3 3 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 568 sales a year before the financial crisis and 235 a year over the last five. 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.

Average monthly rent by size, Brighton and Hove
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £360,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,816 a month (£21,792 a year) works out at a 6.1% 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.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
