In cash terms the typical GU28 home went from £117,000 in 1995 to £413,500 in 2026, roughly 3.5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 63%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 41% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GU28 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 (+36.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−34.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 43% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £845,000 against £260,000 for a flat, 3.3 times the price.

What GU28 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −34.1% | −35.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.5% | −9.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.6% | −3.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.1% | −1.7% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in GU28
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 56 sales completed in GU28. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 112 sales a year before the financial crisis and 62 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.
Rents around GU28
For renting purposes GU28 sits in Chichester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,325 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £941 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,109 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Chichester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £413,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,325 a month (£15,900 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.
The shape of the GU28 market
Only 56 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GU28 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. In its area's price order GU28 comes 31 of 39, towards the cheaper end of the table.

Moving up a bedroom in GU: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the GU area. 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 | — | £473,000 | £635,000 (+34%) | £910,000 (+43%) | £1,366,000 (+50%) |
| Semi-detached | £340,000 | £415,000 (+22%) | £486,000 (+17%) | £630,000 (+30%) | £885,000 (+40%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
