In cash terms the typical BN41 2 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £386,200 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 206%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 14% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BN41 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 2000 (+25.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.0%). 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) | +4.4% | +1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.6% | −2.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
BN41 2 recorded 70 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 310 sales a year before the financial crisis and 151 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of BN41 2
BN41 2 falls under Brighton and Hove, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £386,200 median purchase price, a rent of £1,816 a month (£21,792 a year) works out at a 5.6% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: BN prices by size
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.

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

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
