Are Bosham house prices going up or down?
With only 31 sales, it's too early to call a trend. The median slipped about 1% on the year before, from £504,000. The steadier guide is the official index for Chichester district, which adjusts for the kind of homes sold: it fell 1.4% in the year to July 2026.

Is Bosham an expensive place to live?
Yes, by local standards. Detached houses made up half of its sales over the last three years, at a median of £898,000. On the government's deprivation index its two neighbourhoods sit in deciles 7 and 10, where 10 is the least deprived tenth of England. That index measures deprivation, not wealth, so it supports the picture rather than proving it.

Does Bosham flood?
Parts of it can. Ten of Bosham's 122 postcodes have their centre point inside Environment Agency flood zone 3, the highest band, and four more sit in zone 2. The zones ignore flood defences and leave out surface water, and a postcode is not a house: check an exact address on GOV.UK.
