RH10 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside RH10 (Crawley). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical RH10 3 home went from £76,800 in 1995 to £438,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 163%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 13% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RH10 3 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 (+23.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−5.5%). 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 year (since 2025) | −0.3% | −2.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.0% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in RH10 3
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 96 sales completed in RH10 3. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 251 sales a year recently, against 267 a year before 2008. 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 rental side of RH10 3
The local authority for RH10 3 is Crawley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,482 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,062 a month here against £2,255 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Crawley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £438,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,482 a month (£17,784 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.
How RH10 3 trades

What another bedroom costs in RH
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the RH 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.
