How these numbers are calculated
No public register of sold rents exists in the UK — HM Land Registry publishes only sales. Every rent figure on this page is illustrative: it pairs the Brighton sale-price median with a UK-wide gross-yield band and (where bedroom-specific) UK-typical bedroom-count price multipliers.
-
Indicative monthly rent (hero, area median).
Formula:
HMLR sold median × 5.0–8.0% ÷ 12, rounded to £25. Sold median: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (last 12 months). Yield band: HMO Checker — what is a good rental yield (states "5–6% is a solid, good rental yield in most UK regions" and "6–8% is a very good return"). - Gross yield band (5.0–8.0%). Single UK-wide band applied to every area on this site for transparency. Yields run lower in expensive London markets (closer to 5%) and higher in lower-priced regional cities (toward 7–8%) — see HMO Checker's UK yield breakdown for context.
- Sale-price growth (year on year). 12-month median sold price vs. the prior 12-month median, computed from HMLR Price Paid Data. HMLR's sale-to-registration lag typically runs 2 weeks to 2 months, so the most recent 1–2 months are incomplete.
-
Indicative rent by bedroom count.
Formula:
HMLR sold median × bedroom multiplier × 5.0–8.0% ÷ 12, rounded to £25. Multipliers (1: 77%, 2: 87%, 3: 100%, 4: 112%, 5: 124%, with 3-bed = 100% baseline) imply per-step uplifts of 1→2 +13.0%, 2→3 +14.9%, 3→4 +12.0%, 4→5 +10.7%. The 2→3 and 3→4 steps sit inside the bands directly stated by Nationwide — What Adds Value (2→3 bed: terraced 13%, semi 14%, detached 17%; 3→4 bed: terraced 10%, semi 10%, detached 13%). The 1→2 and 4→5 steps are unsourced (Nationwide only covers 2→3 and 3→4) and taper conservatively. Supplementary context: ONS adhoc 14839 (simple-average UK prices by bedroom count). - Yield by property type. Same formula as indicative monthly rent, applied to each property type's HMLR sold median individually. The yield band is held constant across types — within a single area, yields don't vary much by type.
- HMO yield benchmark (~8.4% UK average). Source: HMO Checker — what is a good rental yield. Mandatory licensing typically applies to properties let to 5+ unrelated tenants — see gov.uk HMO licensing guidance for the current scope.
