In cash terms the typical TN34 3 home went from £34,000 in 1995 to £240,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 225%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 28% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the TN34 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 2003 (+25.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−11.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What TN34 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −8.0% | −10.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.7% | −6.3% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.5% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 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.
Sales activity in TN34 3
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
TN34 3 recorded 73 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 370 sales a year before the financial crisis and 164 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 homes rent for around TN34 3
TN34 3 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.
£1,006 a month is £12,072 a year, which against the £240,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in TN: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the TN 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 | £356,000 | £412,500 (+16%) | £480,000 (+16%) | £610,000 (+27%) | £841,000 (+38%) |
| Semi-detached | £285,250 | £335,000 (+17%) | £387,500 (+16%) | £500,000 (+29%) | £649,000 (+30%) |
| Terraced | £255,000 | £300,000 (+18%) | £335,000 (+12%) | £430,000 (+28%) | £567,500 (+32%) |
| Flat | £165,000 | £220,000 (+33%) | £299,225 (+36%) | £397,475 (+33%) | £550,000 (+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.

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