In cash terms the typical TN34 2 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £319,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 153%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 26% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the TN34 2 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 2002 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.9%). 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) | −6.2% | −8.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
TN34 2 recorded 72 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 297 sales a year before the financial crisis and 166 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 kind of market TN34 2 is
Against the TN34 district median, TN34 2 sits 16% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around TN34 2
TN34 2 falls under Hastings, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,006 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £319,000 median sold price, £1,006 a month is £12,072 a year, a gross yield of 3.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

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.
