Hollingdean property market: common questions

Where is Hollingdean?

Hollingdean is in central Brighton and Hove, in East Sussex. Figures for Hollingdean cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

What is the average house price in Hollingdean?

The median asking price across the 168 homes for sale in Hollingdean is £340,000 (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 £250,000 and £525,000. That is 20% below Brighton and Hove. Homes that actually sold in Hollingdean went for a median £420,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to February 2026).

Are house prices in Hollingdean 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 Hollingdean is up 40% 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 Hollingdean cheaper than Brighton and Hove?

Yes: asking prices in Hollingdean are typically lower than across Brighton and Hove. The median asking price in Hollingdean is £340,000 against £425k across Brighton and Hove: 20% below Brighton and Hove. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

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 £500,000 across 62 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (168 in Hollingdean), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Hollingdean cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
  • 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 Hollingdean since April 2026.
  • Brighton and Hove comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Brighton and Hove, 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.
