In cash terms the typical BN3 5 home went from £54,000 in 1995 to £592,500 in 2026, roughly 11 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 405%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 7% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BN3 5 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 2001 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.6%). 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) | +7.7% | +5.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.6% | +1.8% |
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.
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.
The register shows 83 BN3 5 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 346 sales a year before the financial crisis and 163 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.
Rents around BN3 5
For renting purposes BN3 5 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.
Against the £592,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,816 a month (£21,792 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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.

What another bedroom costs in BN
Real sold prices by size across the BN area, straight 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
