In cash terms the typical RH19 3 home went from £71,500 in 1995 to £386,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 149%: 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 23% 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 RH19 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 2000 (+24.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−16.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What RH19 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.1% | −11.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.7% | −2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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 3
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
RH19 3 recorded 64 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 266 sales a year before the financial crisis and 161 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.
The rental side of RH19 3
The local authority for RH19 3 is Mid Sussex, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £386,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,415 a month (£16,980 a year) works out at a 4.4% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: RH prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the RH area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £450,000 | £610,000 (+36%) | £870,000 (+43%) | £1,237,500 (+42%) |

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.
