Market read
The median sale in Brighton and Hove, Falmer (BN1) was £427,500, which works out at roughly £5,391 per square metre. That leaves the district 18.6% below its peak set in 2022. Floor area varies far more than room counts suggest: properties recorded with 12 habitable rooms — bedrooms and receptions together — range from 148 to 551 m² here. At 10.9 times median local earnings, that is a demanding ratio by any measure. Values have risen 5.4% over the past five years.

The space signal
Property listings describe homes by bedroom count, but that is not recorded in any public dataset. What is recorded is the number of habitable rooms — bedrooms and reception rooms together — and the total floor area. In Brighton and Hove, Falmer, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21 m² | 29 m² | 40 m² | 381 |
| 2 | 35 m² | 45 m² | 60 m² | 3,220 |
| 3 | 49 m² | 64 m² | 86 m² | 2,962 |
| 4 | 66 m² | 85 m² | 110 m² | 1,442 |
| 5 | 79 m² | 101 m² | 133 m² | 2,004 |
| 6 | 98 m² | 121 m² | 154 m² | 1,415 |
| 7 | 117 m² | 143 m² | 183 m² | 651 |
| 8 | 149 m² | 187 m² | 243 m² | 191 |
| 9 | 168 m² | 233 m² | 318 m² | 95 |
| 10 | 199 m² | 261 m² | 396 m² | 39 |
| 11 | 187 m² | 320 m² | 368 m² | 14 |
| 12 | 148 m² | 420 m² | 551 m² | 12 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 12 habitable rooms, ranging from 148 to 551 m². Two properties advertised the same way can differ by more than half their floor area, which is why price per square metre is a more useful comparison than price alone.
