“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 valuationThe Worthing rental market is moving at a steady pace through mid-summer, with studios, one-beds, two-beds and three-beds all letting in around a fortnight — consistent across the board. Stock is predominantly flat-led, with one- and two-bedroom flats making up the bulk of what's available and what's letting. Median rents sit at £850 a month for studios, £1,050 for one-beds and £1,350 for two-beds, with three-beds typically around £1,750. Those figures have held up without any sign of softness.
Four-bedroom houses are taking closer to a month to let and carry a wide rent range — around £2,000 to £3,475 a month — which reflects how varied that stock is. Larger houses are relatively thin on the ground, and the sample is small enough that individual properties can pull the numbers either way. The five-plus bedroom segment has too few lets to read reliably.
For investors, gross yields on Worthing flats are currently running around 7.5%, while terraced and semi-detached houses sit in the 4.5–5.5% range.

About this data
These figures describe the Worthing 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.

Broadwater sits just north of central Worthing — a big, settled village core wrapped in family streets, with a green at its heart and some of the most-requested primary schools in town.
Charmandean sits on the slope rising north-east of Broadwater — 1930s semis and detacheds on broad curving streets, big gardens, and panoramic views back toward the sea on a clear day.
Durrington is Worthing's northern edge — a largely 1930s-onwards family neighbourhood between the South Downs and the A27, with good schools, a station, and easier-to-afford housing than the seafront.
East Worthing is the stretch from the town centre out toward Lancing — predominantly Edwardian residential streets, popular with families and commuters, with the seafront ten minutes away and its own train station for a faster London hop.
Ferring is a quiet seaside village west of Goring — green lanes, beach huts on a wide pebble shore, an unhurried pace, and a settled community that's mostly retired or raising families.
Findon is an inland village in the South Downs above Worthing — a flint-and-brick high street, sheep-fair tradition still alive, and family houses set against open downland. Higher rents than central Worthing, but the trade is countryside on your doorstep.
Findon Valley is the suburban shoulder between Worthing's northern edge and Findon village proper — south of the A27, family-sized housing, walking access to the South Downs, and noticeably more space per pound than central Worthing.
Goring Hall is the private residential estate built around the grounds of the former Goring Hall manor — substantial modern detached houses on landscaped streets, the most exclusive address in Goring-by-Sea, and rarely on the market.
Goring-by-Sea is the green, slow-paced western edge of Worthing — wide streets, mature trees, a seafront greensward, and the village high street running parallel to the beach. Family-led, with strong schools and a station that gives Goring its own commuter identity.
Heene is the central-west Worthing patch sandwiched between the town centre and West Worthing — Edwardian villas, leafy streets, and a small but useful local shopping strip on Heene Road. Walkable, quiet, and slightly more polished than the streets either side.
Offington is the residential pocket between Broadwater and Durrington — interwar semis on quiet curved streets, the Offington roundabout at the centre, and a quietly suburban feel that's a 10-minute drive from the seafront.
Tarring is one of Worthing's oldest and most distinctive areas — a historic village core wrapped in family streets, with strong schools and a fifteen-minute walk to the seafront.
West Worthing sits between central Worthing and Goring — Edwardian terraces and seafront flats, a station of its own for the London hop, and a slightly quieter feel than the town centre without losing easy walking access to it.
Worthing's central core — the pier, Montague Street's pedestrianised high street, the station, and the steadily-improving restaurant and bar scene. Walkable, well-connected, and the densest stock of one- and two-bed flats in the town.
