Each mark is a postcode's centre point as ONS gives it, not a building. Press one to see its postcode and open its page. A dashed outline shows where 5 or more lie within 150 metres of each other. It is not a boundary, and no boundary is drawn. Where marks overlap, the one first in the key is drawn; the counts include every postcode.

Are new homes being built in Shoreham-by-Sea?

28 of the 510 postcodes now in use in Shoreham-by-Sea came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 1 of the 346 homes sold in Shoreham-by-Sea were newly built (Under 1%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the BN43 district, Under 1%.

The newest postcodes

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.
