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

Get a valuationThe Saltdean & Rottingdean rental market is predominantly flat-led, with two-bedroom properties making up the bulk of available stock. One-beds are letting in around a fortnight at a median of £1,150 a month, while two-beds — where there's the most choice — are sitting closer to a month before agreeing, at a median of £1,600. Three-bedroom homes are also taking about a month to let at £2,850 a month, with a wide range reflecting the variation in size and quality across this stretch of the coast.
Larger properties are quieter. Four-beds are taking a month or more, and the sample for five-plus bedroom homes is too thin to read meaningfully. Houses in general are relatively scarce in the available stock, which is heavily weighted towards flats. The summer moving season is keeping activity ticking along, but this isn't a fast-moving market right now — steady is the more honest description.
For investors, gross yields on flats are running around 7%, with houses sitting in the 5 to 6% range depending on type.
