In cash terms the typical BN5 9 home went from £90,000 in 1995 to £445,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 127%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BN5 9 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 2014 (+27.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−20.5%). 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) | −20.5% | −22.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.7% | −6.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in BN5 9
How many homes change hands
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, 37 sales completed in BN5 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 154 sales a year before the financial crisis and 93 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.
What tenants pay around BN5 9
BN5 9 falls under Horsham, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,455 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,009 a month here against £2,400 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Horsham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,455 a month is £17,460 a year, which against the £445,000 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.
Reading the BN5 9 market
This is a thin market: 37 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.

What another bedroom costs in BN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BN area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
