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

Get a valuationHove's rental market has been steady into October, with most homes letting inside a fortnight or so. One-beds are the quickest, going in around a week to ten days at a median of about £1,300 a month, and studios aren't far behind at around £950. Two-beds, the core of the market, sit near £1,750 and typically take around a fortnight. The town is overwhelmingly flats, so the choice of one- and two-beds is wide, while houses are much thinner on the ground.
Three-beds are a little slower, at around two to three weeks and a median of about £2,300. Four-beds, at roughly £2,950, take closer to three weeks. Five-bedroom homes appear in small numbers, so their £4,250 median is a guide rather than a firm benchmark.
This is the autumn relet period, which tends to be busy but orderly, with the usual slowdown ahead of Christmas still to come. For investors, gross yields on flats are running around 6%, with houses lower, nearer 4%.
