Brighton and Hove property market: common questions
Where is Brighton and Hove?
Brighton and Hove sits on the edge of East Sussex, covering about 22 square miles.
What is the average house price in Brighton and Hove?
The median asking price across the 2,386 homes for sale in Brighton and Hove is £425,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £295,000 and £600,000. That is 21% above the UK. Homes that actually sold in Brighton and Hove went for a median £415,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).
Are house prices in Brighton and Hove rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Brighton and Hove is up 36% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to February 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Brighton and Hove cheaper than the UK?
No: asking prices in Brighton and Hove are typically higher than across the UK. The median asking price in Brighton and Hove is £425,000 against £350k across the UK: 21% above the UK. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The premium holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
How many homes are for sale in Brighton and Hove?
2,386 homes are on the market in Brighton and Hove right now, broadly unchanged since 1 Sept, 436 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in Brighton and Hove?
334 listings in Brighton and Hove had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 14% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Brighton and Hove?
Of the Brighton and Hove listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 73 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.
How much do flats and houses cost in Brighton and Hove?
The median asking price for a flat in Brighton and Hove is £325,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £600,000 across 384 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Brighton and Hove?
The median asking price for a two-bedroom flat in Brighton and Hove is £375,000, across 684 current listings.
How much is a three-bedroom house in Brighton and Hove?
There is no single three-bedroom house price: the largest group of three-bedroom houses for sale in Brighton and Hove is terraced houses, at a median asking price of £575,000 across 163 listings. The Size × type view on this page covers every combination we track.
What is the price per square foot in Brighton and Hove?
In Brighton and Hove, homes that sold went for a median £492 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £489 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (2,386 in Brighton and Hove), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Brighton and Hove since March 2026.
- UK comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of UK, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to February 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to August 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
