RH17 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside RH17 (Haywards Heath). 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 RH17 6 home went from £87,000 in 1995 to £547,600 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 190%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the RH17 6 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 2003 (+33.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−14.8%). 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) | +9.5% | +7.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 23 RH17 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 94 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 a year over the last five. 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.
What tenants pay around RH17 6
RH17 6 falls under Mid Sussex, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,415 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,003 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,200, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £547,600 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.1%. 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 kind of market RH17 6 is
This is a thin market: 23 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing.

The price of an extra bedroom in RH
Real sold prices by size across the RH area, straight 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £450,000 | £610,000 (+36%) | £870,000 (+43%) | £1,237,500 (+42%) |
| Semi-detached | £325,000 | £405,000 (+25%) | £475,000 (+17%) | £606,500 (+28%) | £882,500 (+46%) |

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
