Lewes property market

Lewes is in East Sussex. Figures for Lewes cover listings within about 2.0 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.

The median asking price across the 157 homes for sale in Lewes is £499,950 (as of 4 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 £325,000 and £779,000. That is 32% above East Sussex. Homes that actually sold in Lewes went for a median £457,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Lewes is up 37% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.

No: asking prices in Lewes are typically higher than across East Sussex. The median asking price in Lewes is £499,950 against £379k across East Sussex: 32% above East Sussex.
