Brighton house prices
1,978 homes changed hands in Brighton in the 12 months to June 2026, at a median of £416,500. "Brighton" here is the Royal Mail post town, which reaches well beyond the town itself — Portslade, Saltdean, Rottingdean and Brighton Marina Village are counted in these figures, among others. That is up 3.9% on the £401,000 median of the twelve months before. Floor space runs at about £5,164/m², with the middle half of sales between £4,439 and £5,947 per square metre — measured on 6,152 sales matched to an EPC floor area. The flat is the commonest sale — 2,499 of the last 6,702 (37%), median £290,000. 38% of sales were leasehold.
Medians over the June 2026 extract. Price per square metre is what stops a big three-bedroom home and a small one reading as the same comparable.

The interactive sold-price and £/m² map for Brighton is in build. Everything it will show for this area is on this page already, in tables: the medians, the price by property type, the floor areas and the individual sales.
Price by property type
Medians over the three years to June 2026. Types with fewer than five sales are left out; £/m² needs at least 12 sales matched to an EPC floor area before we quote it.
| Type | Sales, 3y | Median, 3y | Median, 12m | Typical size | £/m² |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 862 | £610,000 | £632,500 | 120 m² | £5,269/m² |
| Semi-detached | 1,238 | £435,500 | £440,000 | 92 m² | £4,863/m² |
| Terraced | 2,103 | £490,000 | £490,000 | 91 m² | £5,362/m² |
| Flat or maisonette | 2,499 | £290,000 | £280,000 | 57 m² | £5,104/m² |
Median by year
Calendar-year median sale price in Brighton. Years with fewer than twelve sales are omitted. Bars start at zero, so the percentages above them — measured against 2023 — are the quickest way to read the movement.
Percentages are against the 2023 median of £406,000.
The current year is still filling in. Registration follows completion by months, so its bar will keep rising after this build — read it as a partial count, not a fall.
This extract covers 3 Jan 2023 to 29 Jun 2026. A longer Price Paid history — enough for a ten-year trend, and for what a house sold for a decade ago — is a later ingest, not a gap in what is published here.
What your budget buys in Brighton
Sales between 20% below and 10% above a budget, over the three years to June 2026. The headline is floor area, because the price is the part you already fixed — what changes between towns is the space it buys. Sold prices as recorded, never indexed or adjusted.
1,867 homes in Brighton sold between £400,000 and £550,000 in the last three years. The median one measured 88 m² at £5,224/m².
Type mix: Terraced 42% · Semi-detached 28% · Flat or maisonette 17% · Detached 14%.
Matching sales only. Habitable rooms come from the Energy Performance Certificate and are not bedroom counts — neither register records those.
Latest recorded sales
The twenty most recent sales in Brighton as registered by HM Land Registry. Floor area comes from the property's Energy Performance Certificate where the address could be matched. Addresses with a matched certificate link to that property's sale history.
A sale appears here once the buyer's title is registered with HM Land Registry, which routinely takes months. The most recent weeks are always thinner than they will end up.

Brighton house prices: the questions
What is the average house price in Brighton?
The median sale price in Brighton was £416,500 over the 12 months to June 2026, across 1,978 recorded sales — half sold for less, half for more. Over the full three years the median is £405,000 from 6,702 sales, ranging from £71,000 to £3,800,000. These are HM Land Registry sold prices, not asking prices or estimates.
How much is a square metre in Brighton?
Sold homes in Brighton work out at a median of £5,164/m², with the middle half between £4,439 and £5,947 per square metre. The figure comes from 6,152 sales over three years whose address matched an Energy Performance Certificate carrying a total floor area; the median home in that set measures 82 m².
What does the Brighton post town cover?
"Brighton" here is the Royal Mail post town, which reaches well beyond the town itself — Portslade, Saltdean, Rottingdean and Brighton Marina Village are counted in these figures, among others. A post town is a Royal Mail sorting geography, not a council or parish boundary, and HM Land Registry records sold prices against it — so a median labelled Brighton covers the villages posted through Brighton as well as the town itself. The largest of them here are Portslade (712 sales, median £365,000), Saltdean (416 sales, median £450,000), Rottingdean (173 sales, median £580,000), Brighton Marina Village (68 sales, median £356,500) and Ovingdean (50 sales, median £747,500).
Are house prices in Brighton going up or down?
The 12-month median to June 2026 is £416,500, +3.9% against the £401,000 of the twelve months before. Calendar-year medians: 2023 £406,000, 2024 £403,000, 2025 £405,000, 2026 £425,000. Note that 2026 is a part year — the Land Registry publishes monthly and the extract ends 29 Jun 2026 — and that a median tracks what sold, so a change in the mix of homes coming to market moves it as much as prices do.
Which type of home is cheapest in Brighton?
Of the types with at least 12 sales to compare, flat or maisonette homes are the cheapest — median £290,000 across 2,499 sales in three years (£5,104/m²). Detached homes sit at the top on £610,000 from 862 sales (£5,269/m²). Per square metre the order often differs from the headline price, because the cheaper types are also the smaller ones.
How much does a flat cost in Brighton?
The median flat in Brighton sold for £290,000 over three years, from 2,499 sales, or £280,000 over the last twelve months from 682 sales. The typical one measures 57 m², which is £5,104/m².
Which postcodes cover Brighton, and which is cheapest?
Brighton spans 3 postcode districts: BN1 (3,001 sales, median £425,000), BN2 (2,989 sales, median £404,000), BN41 (712 sales, median £365,000). BN1 is the dearest on that measure and BN41 the cheapest, a spread of £60,000. Sale mix differs between them, so read the gap as a difference in what sold, not a like-for-like premium.
How many homes sell in Brighton each year?
2023: 2,062, 2024: 2,365, 2025: 2,512. The current year is still filling in — HM Land Registry publishes monthly and records can arrive months after completion, so the most recent months always look thinner than they will end up.
