Bosham market report PO18, Chichester
The standing PO18 (Bosham) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,921 sales registered with HM Land Registry in PO18 (Chichester) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the 2026 median for PO18 (Chichester) is £460,000, from 51 registered sales, up 4% on five years earlier; the mean is £523,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,970 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 6,921 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
The postcode district PO18 covering Bosham, Boxgrove, Eartham sits in Chichester. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

Price per square metre in PO18
A square metre of PO18 home has cost about £4,970 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.

| 1995 | £87,000 | £189,125 | 191 |
In cash terms the typical PO18 home went from £87,000 in 1995 to £460,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 143%, 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 21% 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 PO18 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 2002 (+23.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−9.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.5% | −9.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 48% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £740,000 against £240,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
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
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
PO18 recorded 129 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 239 sales a year before the financial crisis and 163 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 PO18 trades
This is a thin market: 129 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. Among the 34 measurable districts of its area, PO18 ranks 2 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
What homes rent for around PO18
For renting purposes PO18 sits in Chichester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,325 a month (May 2026). 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 £460,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,325 a month (£15,900 a year) works out at a 3.5% 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.

How much did a house sell for in PO18 (Bosham)?

If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

What another bedroom costs in PO
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PO area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| 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%) |
| Terraced | £230,000 | £253,000 (+10%) | £290,000 (+15%) | £375,000 (+29%) | £498,750 (+33%) |
| Flat | £145,000 | £198,000 (+37%) | £290,000 (+46%) | £500,000 (+72%) | — |
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.
