In cash terms the typical TN34 1 home went from £31,000 in 1995 to £219,200 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 225%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TN34 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 2004 (+38.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−26.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +33.3% | +30.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 34 TN34 1 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 251 sales a year before the financial crisis and 103 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.
The shape of the TN34 1 market
Only 34 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes TN34 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Against the TN34 district median, TN34 1 sits 20% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of TN34 1
For renting purposes TN34 1 sits in Hastings. The ONS average private rent there is £1,006 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £696 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,514 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Hastings
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,006 a month is £12,072 a year, which against the £219,200 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. 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.

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

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
