In cash terms the typical BN3 4 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £555,000 in 2026, roughly 11 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 411%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2024. The market now sits about 8% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BN3 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 2002 (+34.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−16.2%). 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) | +16.2% | +13.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.4% | +0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.7% | +1.9% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 35 sales completed in BN3 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 274 sales a year before the financial crisis and 129 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 shape of the BN3 4 market
This is a thin market: 35 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the BN3 district median, BN3 4 sits 27% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around BN3 4
The local authority for BN3 4 is Brighton and Hove, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,816 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,193 a month here against £2,495 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £555,000 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in BN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BN area. 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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
