Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on BN26: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
250 sales since April 2025 make BN26 a steady market, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.
When selling here, detached homes typically sold for £477,000 against £150,000 for flats, which explains a spread of £159,065 to £600,000, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseFor buyers, BN26 sits above the UK average for typical prices, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (39 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,728 a year); your conveyancer should look at the title too.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free BN26 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Wealden (BN26) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £477,000 against £150,000 for flats: about 3.2 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £159,065 and £600,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 16 recorded sales a month.

These are Wealden's charges for 2026-27, the authority BN26 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 BN26 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 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.
BN26 6QD, 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 BN26 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in BN26: 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 BN26, band by band
Wealden's council tax for 2026-27 set against the BN26 median sold price of £320,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearWealden | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £320,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,819 | £152 | 0.57% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £2,122 | £177 | 0.66% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,425 | £202 | 0.76% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,728 | £227 | 0.85% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £3,335 | £278 | 1.04% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,941 | £328 | 1.23% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £4,547 | £379 | 1.42% |
| H | over £320,000 | £5,457 | £455 | 1.71% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the BN26 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.
