In cash terms the typical RH15 0 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £441,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 212%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the RH15 0 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 (+36.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.4%). 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) | −1.3% | −3.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 96 RH15 0 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 239 sales a year recently, against 232 a year before 2008. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around RH15 0
RH15 0 falls under Mid Sussex, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,415 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,003 a month here against £2,200 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Mid Sussex
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,415 a month is £16,980 a year, which against the £441,000 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.

What another bedroom costs in RH
What homes of each size actually sold for across the RH area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

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.
