PO17 5 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PO17 (Fareham). 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 PO17 5 home went from £71,500 in 1995 to £263,800 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 70%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 30% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PO17 5 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 (+27.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−14.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −14.4% | −16.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.7% | −6.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −0.1% | −3.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.3% | −1.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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 28 PO17 5 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 147 sales a year before the financial crisis and 81 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.
How PO17 5 trades
This is a thin market: 28 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. Against the PO17 district median, PO17 5 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of PO17 5
For renting purposes PO17 5 sits in Winchester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,505 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,014 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,247, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Winchester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,505 a month is £18,060 a year, which against the £263,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.8%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
