PO10 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PO10 (Emsworth). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

| 1995 | £69,700 | £151,517 | 86 |
In cash terms the typical PO10 8 home went from £69,700 in 1995 to £440,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 190%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PO10 8 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 1998 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +10.0% | +7.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.2% | −2.5% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +4.1% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 50 sales completed in PO10 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 169 sales a year before the financial crisis and 108 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What homes rent for around PO10 8
For renting purposes PO10 8 sits in Chichester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,325 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £941 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,109 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Chichester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £440,000 median sold price, £1,325 a month is £15,900 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.
How PO10 8 trades
Only 50 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PO10 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in PO: the cost
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%) |
| Terraced | £225,000 | £245,000 (+9%) | £270,000 (+10%) | £318,250 (+18%) | £385,000 (+21%) |
| Flat | £134,000 | £182,500 (+36%) | £250,000 (+37%) | £325,000 (+30%) | £433,375 (+33%) |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
