Felpham costs about £355,000 for a typical house. Just under a hundred sold in the last year. Detached carries the top of the range to £430,000. Flats sit at £215,000. Bungalow-belt prices, average for the coast, no bargain end.
The median sale over the last twelve months was about £355,000 across roughly 99 transactions, which is enough volume to be a real market rather than an averaged guess. The breakdown by property type sorts the village's shape. Detached at around £430,000 across forty sales, the largest single category of what sold. Semis at £345,000 across twenty-three. Terraces matched the semi count at £320,000. Flats came in lowest at £215,000 across thirteen. The fact that detached pulled the biggest single bloc of the year's transactions tells you this is a houses-on-roads village, not a flats-in-blocks one, and the price ladder reflects that.
For council tax, most of Felpham pays band D, which is the modal band on the brief. About one home in nine sits in the cheapest two bands of A or B. There is not really a cheap end of this market, just a more affordable end and a less affordable one.
On rent, the typical private rent across the Arun area runs at about £1,220 a month, up roughly three and a half percent over the last year. That is a local-authority average, not a Felpham-specific quote. By bedroom count across Arun, a one-bed sits at about £840 a month, a two-bed at £1,130, a three-bed at £1,380, and four-plus at £1,970. Felpham sits at the older, more owner-occupied end of Arun, so actual quotes here tend to land at the upper edge of those ranges. If you are renting in Felpham, you are renting from a landlord who bought the house when it was cheaper, has watched the price climb, and is not in a particular hurry to discount.
Set the £355,000 median against typical household income here of about £56,000, and you are looking at a ratio of just over six to one. The local house-price index has prices in the area down about three and a half percent over the last twelve months, so the trend is gently falling rather than rising. That ratio prices first-time buyers without family help out of most of the housing stock anyway, while being comfortable for the demographic the village actually has, which is settled owners sitting on equity from a previous sale. The market is not really priced for entry. It is priced for re-entry.
Houses in Felpham cost what middle-of-the-coast West Sussex costs. Not cheap, not eye-watering, the comfortable middle of a comfortable coast.
