The property market in BN11 3AS is characterised by low home ownership, with only 32% of residents owning their homes. This suggests a rental-dominated market, which may affect long-term investment potential and property value stability. The accommodation type is predominantly flats, reflecting a housing stock suited to urban living rather than detached homes. This is consistent with the area’s small size and likely proximity to Worthing’s town centre. The average new-build sale price in the broader Central Ward was £277,032 between 2017 and 2020, placing it in the mid-range for the borough. However, specific data for BN11 3AS is not provided, so buyers should consider local variations. The flat-dominated market may appeal to renters or those seeking affordable urban living, but the low ownership rate could indicate limited demand for long-term property purchases.
