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 September 2026 and refreshed regularly — all are indicative, and individual properties vary.

Get a valuationThe Hove rental market is overwhelmingly flat-led — houses are thin on the ground, and when they do appear they tend to sit at the higher end of the price range. Studios are currently sitting around £925 a month and letting inside ten days; one-beds at a median of £1,350 are moving around a week, which is notably quick. Two-beds — the most plentiful part of the market — are typically around £1,800 a month and letting in roughly a fortnight. Three-beds come in at around £2,450 and are also away within two to three weeks, suggesting reasonable appetite at that level despite the thinner choice.
Larger properties are a different story. Four-beds at around £2,600 are taking a little longer — around a fortnight to three weeks — and the sample of five-plus bedroom homes is too small to say anything meaningful. August is typically a busy month for summer moves, and the pace across most size brackets reflects that.
For investors considering buy-to-let, gross yields on flats are running around 6.5%, while houses — terraced, semi or detached — sit noticeably lower given purchase prices in Hove.
