How Fairfield Crescent, Hassocks prices moved
The chart tracks the median Fairfield Crescent, Hassocks house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2014. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £88,500 | £196,512 |
| 2000s | 1 | £239,975 | £437,164 |
| 2010s | 1 | £324,500 | £457,545 |
The highest yearly median on record for Fairfield Crescent, Hassocks is £324,500 in 2014; the lowest is £88,500 in 1997. Across the full 18-year record the cash median has moved from £88,500 to £324,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £187,647, so the real change over the whole record is +148.1% — about +5.49% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +266.7% in cash against +148.1% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Horsham, 46.5% of 66,946 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 5.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Horsham at £1,460 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,013 for a one-bedroom home and £1,682 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £281,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 6.23% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of BN6, 53 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 11 violent, 2 burglary, 6 vehicle-related and 15 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 3.2 times quieter.
Against the 146,778 residents the 2021 census counted in Horsham, that is 0.36 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Fairfield Crescent, Hassocks sits in Horsham, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Horsham at 11.5 times median local earnings of £37,981 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Fairfield Crescent, Hassocks?

How many homes have sold in Fairfield Crescent, Hassocks?
56 sales are on record for Fairfield Crescent, Hassocks, the most recent completing on 28 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Fairfield Crescent, Hassocks house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £324,500, set in 2014. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Fairfield Crescent, Hassocks?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 28 May 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
