Selsey market report PO20 3, Chichester
The PO20 3 (Selsey) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 3,029 HM Land Registry entries for PO20 3 (Chichester), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: a typical PO20 3 (Chichester) home changed hands for £365,000 in 2026 (median of 35 registered sales, down 4% on five years earlier), with the mean at £453,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,900 per square metre over the last five years. Source: 3,029 completed sales on the HM Land Registry record since 1995, updated with each monthly release. No valuations, no asking prices.
A postcode sector like PO20 3 is a single group of streets within PO20 (Chichester), 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 home in PO20 3 sells for
The PO20 3 median stands at £365,000 for 2026, built from 35 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £453,700, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
Price per square metre in PO20 3
A square metre of PO20 3 home has cost about £3,900 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.
Set against the £285,000 England and Wales median, PO20 3 sits 28% above the national market.

In cash terms the typical PO20 3 home went from £66,500 in 1995 to £365,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 152%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PO20 3 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 2004 (+25.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.3%). 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) | −0.8% | −3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PO20 3
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
PO20 3 recorded 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 98 sales a year recently, against 100 a year before 2008. 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.
Rents around PO20 3
PO20 3 falls under Arun, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,224 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £845 a month here against £1,974 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Arun
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £365,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,224 a month (£14,688 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.
The shape of the PO20 3 market
This is a thin market: 35 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in PO
Real sold prices by size across the PO area, straight 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%) |

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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
