A postcode sector like PO2 7 is a single group of streets within PO2 (Portsmouth), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What a square metre costs in PO2 7

| 1995 | £44,000 | £95,649 | 246 |
In cash terms the typical PO2 7 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £225,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 136%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 18% 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 PO2 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 2002 (+23.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.7%). 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) | +0.4% | −2.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in PO2 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 325 sales a year before the financial crisis and 116 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
How PO2 7 trades
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PO2 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the PO2 district median, PO2 7 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around PO2 7
For renting purposes PO2 7 sits in Portsmouth. The ONS average private rent there is £1,366 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £899 a month here against £1,961 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Portsmouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £225,800 median sold price, £1,366 a month is £16,392 a year, a gross yield of 7.3%: 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.

What you could buy in PO2 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 44 homes currently on the market from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole PO2 district, not just PO2 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 31% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Ophir Road, Portsmouth
- Flat 1 Magdalen Court, 341 London Road, Hilsea, Portsmouth, Portsmouth
- Hewett Rd, North End, Portsmouth, PO2, Portsmouth
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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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. 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.
