Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on BN25: steady sales, so price from the evidence
250 sales since November 2025 make BN25 a steady market, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are thinking of selling, with detached homes at £485,000 and flats at £185,500, the £169,800 to £650,000 spread is really several markets, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; roughly 29 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, BN25 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.
Before an offer goes in on any BN25 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (760 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,756 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Where the numbers are this loose, the free BN25 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English
What the Lewes (BN25) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £485,000 against £185,500 for flats: about 2.6 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £169,800 and £650,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 29 recorded sales a month.

These are Lewes's charges for 2026-27, the authority BN25 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled BN25 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 10, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
BN25 3BA, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so BN25 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in BN25: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in BN25, band by band
Lewes's council tax for 2026-27 set against the BN25 median sold price of £370,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearLewes | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £370,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,837 | £153 | 0.50% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,512 | £459 | 1.49% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the BN25 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
