About this data
These figures describe the Saltdean & Rottingdean 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 valuationThe Saltdean & Rottingdean market has been steady into October, with most homes letting in two to four weeks. It is flat-led, though there is a reasonable spread of houses and a few bungalows. Two-beds are the busiest part of the market, typically around £1,600 a month and usually letting in around three weeks. Three-beds sit near £2,750 and take about a month, as do four-beds, where the median is around £3,250. Larger family homes have a bit more choice available than the smaller flats, and tend to take a little longer to find the right tenant.
The one-bed and five-bed samples are very small, so I wouldn't read a reliable rent from either. Autumn relets are working through now, and the pace looks consistent rather than rushed, which is typical before the quieter run-up to Christmas. Landlords who price sensibly now will usually avoid carrying a property into December.
For investors, gross yields on flats are running around 7% at current sale prices.
