| 1995 | £71,500 | £155,430 | 154 |
In cash terms the typical PO10 7 home went from £71,500 in 1995 to £390,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 151%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PO10 7 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+21.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−5.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −2.5% | −4.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +0.7% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.1% | −2.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in PO10 7
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
PO10 7 recorded 74 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 200 sales a year before the financial crisis and 149 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around PO10 7
The local authority for PO10 7 is Havant, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,135 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £840 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,872, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Havant
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £390,000 median sold price, £1,135 a month is £13,620 a year, a gross yield of 3.5%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

What another bedroom costs in PO
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PO area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £320,000 | £364,250 (+14%) | £420,000 (+15%) | £510,000 (+21%) | £640,000 (+25%) |
| Semi-detached | £270,000 | £300,000 (+11%) | £326,000 (+9%) | £380,000 (+17%) | £445,000 (+17%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
