In cash terms the typical TN38 0 home went from £36,000 in 1995 to £285,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 264%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the TN38 0 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 (+33.3% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.6% | +7.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.7% | +1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +0.9% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The register shows 82 TN38 0 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 540 sales a year before the financial crisis and 230 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around TN38 0
The local authority for TN38 0 is Hastings, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £285,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,006 a month (£12,072 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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.

What another bedroom costs in TN
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the TN area. 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 | — | £375,000 | £520,000 (+39%) | £789,950 (+52%) | £1,140,000 (+44%) |
