What do homes cost in Arundel?

Homes in Arundel sold for a typical £430,000 in the 12 months to August 2026, across 53 sales, HM Land Registry's figures show. The 12 months before gave £374,000 from 63 sales: not a change larger than chance would explain, given which homes happened to sell.

£430,000 typical price, the 12 months to August 2026
£374,000 12 months to August 2025
  • Detached £886,000 6 sales
  • Semi-detached £402,500 10 sales

  • Flat or maisonette £243,000 11 sales

Each bar is that kind's typical price, against the most expensive kind here.

Across the whole BN18 district, Arundel's main postcode district: a typical £395,000.

Sales at the postcodes ONS places in Arundel: standard sales of homes at market value. A typical price is the median, the middle sale. Sales take weeks to be registered, so the last month or two are incomplete. Each postcode page gives the figure for its own postcode sector.

Are new homes being built in Arundel?

6 of the 133 postcodes now in use in Arundel came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 0 of the 63 homes sold in Arundel were newly built (0%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the BN18 district, 36%.

A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.

Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.

Is Arundel at risk of flooding?

32 of the 133 postcodes in Arundel have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts 381 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 32 of 133 postcodes High: 197Medium: 184Low: 137Very low: 31

High: 3.3% or more a year (1 in 30). Medium: 1% to 3.3% a year. Low: 0.1% to 1% a year. Very low: under 0.1% a year (1 in 1,000). Each band is the chance of flooding in any one year.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
