Are new homes being built in Southwick?

5 of the 251 postcodes now in use in Southwick came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 5 of the 159 homes sold in Southwick were newly built (3%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the BN42 district, 3%.

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.

Is Southwick at risk of flooding?

9 of the 251 postcodes in Southwick 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 32 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk, at 9 of 251 postcodes High: 13Medium: 19Low: 26Very low: 1

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.
