About this data
These figures describe the Hove rental market— typical (median) rents by bedroom, how long homes are taking to let, overall demand, and an estimated gross yield. Rents and days-to-let are drawn from current and recently-let comparable listings in the area; we use medians rather than averages, so a handful of unusual listings don’t distort the picture. Gross yield is a year’s rent against the typical recent sale price for the same property type, matched by bedroom count (the Land Registry doesn’t record bedrooms), with the headline figure blended across property types by their share of the local rental market. Sale prices are from HM Land Registry Price Paid. Figures are current as of July 2026 and refreshed regularly — all are indicative, and individual properties vary.

Get a valuationThe Hove rental market is moving steadily through the summer, with the bulk of activity — as ever — in flats. Studios are typically letting inside ten days at around £950 a month; one-beds are moving a little faster, usually inside a week, with a median of £1,300. Two-beds, the most represented size in the market, are taking around a fortnight and sitting at £1,750 a month. Three-beds are also letting in roughly a fortnight at £2,250. The market is overwhelmingly flat-led, with houses comparatively thin on the ground.
Larger properties are a different story. Four-bed houses are taking two to three weeks at around £2,650, which is reasonable enough, but five-bed and above are sitting for a month or more — a reminder that the upper end of the market moves to its own slower rhythm, and pricing there needs to be realistic from the outset.
For investors considering the numbers, gross yields on flats are running at around 6%, while houses — given their higher purchase prices — come in noticeably lower.
