How Lexden Road, Seaford prices moved

The chart tracks the median Lexden Road, Seaford house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2023. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for Lexden Road, Seaford is £345,000 in 2023; the lowest is £58,000 in 1995. Across the full 29-year record the cash median has moved from £58,000 to £345,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £128,787, so the real change over the whole record is +189.4% — about +3.87% 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: +40.8% in cash against -0.7% 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.

What sells here

The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Lexden Road, Seaford is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

Ownership and new build in Lexden Road, Seaford

13 of the sales on record are leasehold and 116 freehold — 10.1% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.

The median leasehold sale is £93,000 and the median freehold sale £210,500 — a gap of +126.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.

A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Lewes at £1,323 a month as of Jun 2026 — £917 for a one-bedroom home and £1,495 for three bedrooms.

Against the median sale of £175,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.07% 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 BN25, 101 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 36 violent, 1 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 29 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.7 times quieter.

Against the 99,905 residents the 2021 census counted in Lewes, that is 1.01 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.

Section 08

How Lexden Road, Seaford compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Lexden Road, Seaford sits above that national figure — +11.1%.

Within Seaford the street ranks 285 of 378 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £197,000 (-11.2%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,386 per square metre, across 39 of the 129 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

The full range on record runs from £10,000 to £505,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Lexden Road, Seaford sits in Lewes, in the South East.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Lewes at 9.7 times median local earnings of £39,798 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers

Common questions about this data

What is the average house price in Lexden Road, Seaford?

The median price paid in Lexden Road, Seaford across every sale on the register is £175,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.

How many homes have sold in Lexden Road, Seaford?

129 sales are on record for Lexden Road, Seaford, the most recent completing on 25 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

Have Lexden Road, Seaford house prices actually risen?

In cash, the median rose +40.8% between 2011 and 2023. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -0.7%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.

When were Lexden Road, Seaford house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £345,000, set in 2023. 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 Lexden Road, Seaford?

£2,386 per square metre, from the 39 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

How current is this data?

The latest sale shown here completed on 25 Mar 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.
