Worthing is named one of the most desirable
The housing market is thriving in Worthing and this is reflected in the town’s house prices.
A report carried out by economist Andrew Carter for The Guardian found that the town’s average house price costs 8.6 times the average salary in Worthing, making it the tenth most ‘unaffordable’ place to live in the country.

Hide AdPat Barton, a director of Jacobs Steel, said: “Worthing has definitely increased its popularity. I’m Worthing born and bred, and I know the town well. It’s always had this humorous reputation of being God’s waiting room.
“We have certainly got a huge influx of people coming from Brighton and Hove because of the prices, good transport links and good schools.”
