Portchester market report PO16 7, Fareham
The standing PO16 7 (Portchester) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 5,204 registered sales in PO16 7 (Fareham) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 57 registered 2026 sales put the PO16 7 (Fareham) median at £345,000, up 13% on five years earlier, with a mean of £356,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,610 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,204 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
A postcode sector like PO16 7 is a single group of streets within PO16 (Fareham), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

| 1995 | £68,000 | £147,822 | 147 |
In cash terms the typical PO16 7 home went from £68,000 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 133%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PO16 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 (+34.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2015 (−15.9%). 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 years (since 2025) | +7.0% | +4.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.6% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
PO16 7 recorded 57 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 188 sales a year before the financial crisis and 138 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.
Rents around PO16 7
For renting purposes PO16 7 sits in Fareham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,213 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £857 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,997 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Fareham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £345,000 median sold price, £1,213 a month is £14,556 a year, a gross yield of 4.2%: 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.
Reading the PO16 7 market
Only 57 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PO16 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: PO prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PO area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

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