Phillip James lets and manages properties across North Lancing, South Lancing, Sompting, and the wider BN15 area.
We focus purely on lettings — realistic valuations, carefully selected tenants, and straightforward management without the sales pitch.
What landlords say

For landlords who manage the tenancy themselves.
We market, reference, and move in a quality tenant — then hand the tenancy back to you.
More on Tenant FindFor landlords who want it handled, day to day.
We find the tenant and run everything after — rent, maintenance, inspections, compliance, and renewals.
More on Fully ManagedFor landlords who want dependable monthly income.
An optional add-on: your rent keeps coming even if the tenant falls into arrears.

“We have been using Phillip James Lettings since 2008 to help us with 2 flats we rent out. Prior to that we used a couple of the bigger names out there but I'm so glad we made the change — and stuck to it!”
“As a private landlord of a house in the Preston Park area of Brighton, it was refreshing to deal with such a professional and knowledgeable letting agent.”
“The service they give is friendly, super helpful and personal — and that goes for our tenants as well. Having had some very rude and brusque treatment from various lettings companies when I was a renter, this was important to me as I didn't want people renting from us to feel as I had back then.”
Free and no-obligation — a realistic figure from real local lets, not a quote to win your business.
Get a valuationLancing has held steady into October, with the autumn relet season keeping things moving. One-beds are letting in around a fortnight at a median of about £1,000 a month, and two-beds are close behind at around £1,500, typically letting in two to three weeks. Three-beds sit around £1,700 and take a little longer, usually about a month. Studios are the slowest of the lot, at around £850 and also about a month to let, though the sample there is very small, so it's a guide rather than a firm read.
The stock is flat-led, with a fair number of houses and the odd bungalow mixed in. Smaller homes are the quickest movers, while larger ones take more time to find the right tenant. That's normal for this point in the year. With Christmas approaching, activity usually eases, so pricing realistically now tends to serve landlords better than waiting for the new year.
For investors, gross yields run from roughly 5.5% on semi-detached houses to around 8.5% on flats, though the rent samples behind those figures are modest.

About this data
These figures describe the Lancing 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.
