Seaford property market: common questions

Where is Seaford?

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

What is the average house price in Seaford?

The median asking price across the 212 homes for sale in Seaford is £412,500 (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 £550,000. That is 9% above East Sussex. Homes that actually sold in Seaford went for a median £368,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Are house prices in Seaford 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 Seaford is up 31% 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.

Is Seaford cheaper than East Sussex?

No: asking prices in Seaford are typically higher than across East Sussex. The median asking price in Seaford is £412,500 against £380k across East Sussex: 9% above East Sussex. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. Entry-level prices are close to East Sussex's; the gap opens further up the market.

How much do flats and houses cost in Seaford?

The median asking price for a flat in Seaford is £200,000. 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 detached houses, at a median £599,975 across 64 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.

How much is a two-bedroom flat in Seaford?

What is the price per square foot in Seaford?

In Seaford, homes that sold went for a median £382 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £347 per sq ft.

How these numbers are made

  • Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (212 in Seaford), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Seaford cover listings within about 2.0 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 Seaford since April 2026.
  • East Sussex comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of East Sussex, 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 January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 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.
