In cash terms the typical PO18 8 home went from £81,600 in 1995 to £470,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 165%: 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 27% 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 PO18 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 1999 (+28.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−20.4%). 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) | −6.0% | −8.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.5% | −5.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Sales activity in PO18 8
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 25 sales completed in PO18 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 149 sales a year before the financial crisis and 87 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.
The shape of the PO18 8 market
This is a thin market: 25 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.
What tenants pay around PO18 8
The local authority for PO18 8 is Chichester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,325 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £941 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,109, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Chichester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £470,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,325 a month (£15,900 a year) works out at a 3.4% 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.

PO18's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 55 homes currently on the market from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole PO18 district, not just PO18 8: live asking prices are collected per district.
16% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Funtington, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18
- East Ashling, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18
- Bay Leaf Cottages, Stane Street, Westhampnett, Chichester, PO18
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: PO prices by size
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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £350,000 | £475,000 (+36%) | £675,000 (+42%) | £900,000 (+33%) |
| Semi-detached | £273,250 | £305,000 (+12%) | £352,500 (+16%) | £430,000 (+22%) | £610,000 (+42%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
