PO12 sold prices: where the market stands
Across 294 registered 2026 sales, the typical (median) PO12 home went for £230,000. The mean is £243,100, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
PO12 prices by floor area
A square metre of PO12 home has cost about £3,100 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so PO12 trades 19% below the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical PO12 home went from £45,000 in 1995 to £230,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 135%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PO12 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 2001 (+21.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £447,500 against £138,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

What PO12 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −4.2% | −6.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Sales activity in PO12
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 605 PO12 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 1,414 sales a year before the financial crisis and 625 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 PO12
PO12 falls under Gosport, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,158 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £815 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,713, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Gosport
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £230,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,158 a month (£13,896 a year) works out at a 6.0% 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 another bedroom costs in PO
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PO area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £350,000 | £475,000 (+36%) | £675,000 (+42%) | £900,000 (+33%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is 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.
