Renting around Thomas à Becket rental market

The area around Thomas à Becket and the surrounding streets is predominantly flat-led, with houses and bungalows making up a smaller share of what comes to market. The two-bedroom bracket has the most depth — a good choice of two-beds — with a median rent of around £1,325 a month, and they're typically letting in about a fortnight. One-beds, at a median of £1,000 a month, are moving in a similar timeframe, around two weeks. Studios sit at roughly £850 a month and have been letting inside ten days, though the sample there is thin so that figure is more of a guide than a firm benchmark. Three-beds, at around £1,700 a month, are also finding tenants in roughly a fortnight, though stock is limited and doesn't come up often.

With summer relocations underway, the market is active rather than sluggish — the volume of lets agreed recently reflects a reasonable pace across most bedroom sizes. Nothing here suggests a strained or overheated picture; it reads as a functioning, reasonably liquid local market.

For investors, gross yields in this part of Worthing are currently around 7.5% on flats and closer to 6.5% on terraced houses, based on prevailing sale prices and rents.
