Hastings market commentary
What the latest official data may mean for buyers, renters and investors.
Hastings house prices stood at £238,912 in April 2026, according to the latest UK House Price Index. That is a monthly fall of 0.6%, which takes the average price slightly below March’s £240,395.
On a yearly basis, prices were 3.4% lower than in April 2025, when the average stood at £247,343.
Hastings’ average private rent was £1,006 in May 2026, according to the ONS Price Index of Private Rents. That is down slightly from £1,007 in April.
The monthly move was -0.07%, so rents edged lower rather than rising in the latest update. The annual picture still shows growth.
Hastings has a resident population of 91,219, based on the 2024 estimate. That population context matters when reading the local labour market, because the town has a smaller and more concentrated resident base than Great Britain overall.
