In cash terms the typical RH19 1 home went from £72,500 in 1995 to £308,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 96%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2023, and today's median remains roughly 34% under it: a 2023 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the RH19 1 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 2023 (+52.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−28.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RH19 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.3% | −6.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −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.
Sales activity in RH19 1
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.
RH19 1 recorded 58 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 175 sales a year before the financial crisis and 122 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 RH19 1
For renting purposes RH19 1 sits in Mid Sussex. The ONS average private rent there is £1,415 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £308,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,415 a month (£16,980 a year) works out at a 5.5% 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 RH19 1 trades
Only 58 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes RH19 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the RH19 district median, RH19 1 sits 26% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Moving up a bedroom in RH: the cost
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.
| 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%) |

| Flat | £206,436 | £270,000 (+31%) | £395,000 (+46%) | £545,000 (+38%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
