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

Get a valuationThe Saltdean & Rottingdean market is predominantly flat-led, with two-bedroom properties making up the bulk of what's available and letting. Two-beds are moving in around a fortnight at a median of £1,650 a month, which is a solid pace for late summer. One-beds are letting on a similar timescale — around three weeks — at a median of £1,350, though the sample there is thinner so that figure is indicative rather than definitive. Three-bedroom houses are also taking around three weeks at £2,500 a month, while four-beds are sitting closer to a month before agreeing at £3,000. Larger five-plus bedroom properties are relatively scarce and we don't have clean letting-pace data for them at this point.
Bungalows account for a modest slice of available stock — worth noting as a distinct category in this part of the coast, even if the sample is small. The broader picture heading into September is steady rather than strained: reasonable choice of two-beds, slower movement at the larger end.
For investors, gross yields on flats are running around 7.5%, with houses in the 5–6% range depending on type.
