Selsey market report PO20 2, Chichester

The PO20 2 (Selsey) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Everything below comes from 2,811 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in PO20 2 (Chichester) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: a typical PO20 2 (Chichester) home changed hands for £360,000 in 2026 (median of 35 registered sales, up 6% on five years earlier), with the mean at £349,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,060 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 2,811 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.

PO20 2 is one sector of PO20 (Chichester): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

Today's PO20 2 prices, from the sold record

35 sales were registered in PO20 2 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £360,000. The mean works out at £349,600, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.

What a square metre costs in PO20 2

Measured by floor area, the last five years of PO20 2 sales average about £4,060 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts PO20 2 26% above the country at large.

In cash terms the typical PO20 2 home went from £56,500 in 1995 to £360,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 193%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

Year-on-year change in the PO20 2 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 (+34.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−18.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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.

Sales activity in PO20 2

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, 35 sales completed in PO20 2. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 118 sales a year over the last five years against 89 before the financial crisis. 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 homes rent for around PO20 2

For renting purposes PO20 2 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.

Set against the £360,000 median sold price, £1,325 a month is £15,900 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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.

The shape of the PO20 2 market

Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PO20 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

PO20's current homes for sale

Turning to what is actually available: 49 homes on the market right now, from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

These cover the whole PO20 district, not just PO20 2: live asking prices are collected per district.

19% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

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.

Refreshed every Monday and Thursday from agents' own feeds to HomesIndex, so a sample of the market rather than all of it. An asking price remains an ask, not a sale.

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. 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.

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.

The risers and the fallers

The spread across the PO area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.
