The median is about half a million pounds. The typical sale in the last twelve months landed at £525,000. About 120 properties changed hands. Detached houses cleared £705,000 and flats sat under £220,000. What you pay depends almost entirely on whether you want walls on every side.
Across the 124 transactions in the last twelve months, the median sat at around £525,000, and the split by type is where the real picture lives. Detached houses, which made up well over half of every sale, went for about £705,000. Semi-detached houses landed near £400,000. Terraced houses traded at about £330,000. The handful of flats that sold went for around £210,000. Sixty-eight detached transactions against twelve flat ones is the maths that tilts the headline number upward, which is what happens when the dominant product on the market is the most expensive one.
The most common council-tax band is C, which is the third-cheapest of eight. About one in six homes sits inside the cheaper A or B brackets. The rest spread upward through D, E, F and beyond, which is the long tail you get in a place where the dominant property type is a detached house with a garden. The annual bill follows the band, and the band follows the bricks.
Typical private rent across the Chichester area sits at about £1,320 a month. That figure is a local-authority average rather than a Witterings-only number, so the rental experience inside the village will sit somewhere within the spread rather than precisely at it. By bedroom count, a one-bed goes for about £940, a two-bed about £1,200, a three-bed about £1,500, and anything with four or more bedrooms about £2,100. The four-bed-plus tier is also where holiday-let economics start eating into the long-let stock, which is part of why renting a family-sized house here is harder than the headline rate suggests.
The typical household income across these postcodes is around £52,000 a year. Against a £525,000 median house price, that puts the local price-to-income multiple at about ten. The standard mortgage maths stops working at about four-and-a-half. The gap gets filled by buyers arriving with the proceeds of a sale further up the coast, or by retired downsizers who don't need a mortgage at all. First-time buyers on local wages are not the market that sets the prices, and the market knows it.
Average overall. Expensive for what local wages can carry, fair for what the postcode hands you. The houses cost what coastal Sussex houses cost, no harder to defend and no easier to afford.
