In cash terms the typical PO16 8 home went from £60,500 in 1995 to £343,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 161%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PO16 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 2000 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−4.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PO16 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.0% | −1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PO16 8
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.
PO16 8 recorded 59 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 227 sales a year before the financial crisis and 126 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 tenants pay around PO16 8
For renting purposes PO16 8 sits in Fareham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,213 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £857 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,997, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Fareham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £343,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,213 a month (£14,556 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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 PO16 8 is
This is a thin market: 59 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.

40% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.

The price of an extra bedroom 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.

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.
