Nothing on the map was bought and sold on again. Move the map, or zoom out a little.

How this area has changed
Typical prices for terraced houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Forge | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector RH17 6 | – | £400,000 | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Mid Sussex | £375,000 | £334,500 +12% since | £305,000 +23% since | £215,000 +74% since | £190,000 +97% since |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in RH17 6, over the last five years (399 sales):
- What sells: 34% detached, 25% semi-detached, 18% flats, 15% terraced, 8% other.

- 63 sales in the last twelve months, against 154 in the same twelve months five years ago.
