PO12 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PO12 (Gosport). 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.

In cash terms the typical PO12 2 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £287,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 120%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PO12 2 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 (+27.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−16.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PO12 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −16.7% | −18.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.1% | −6.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.0% | −2.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in PO12 2
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 53 PO12 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 235 sales a year before the financial crisis and 140 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around PO12 2
The local authority for PO12 2 is Gosport, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,158 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £815 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,713 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Gosport
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £287,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,158 a month (£13,896 a year) works out at a 4.8% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
What kind of market PO12 2 is
This is a thin market: 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the PO12 district median, PO12 2 sits 25% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

25% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

Moving up a bedroom in PO: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the PO area, straight 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.
