In cash terms the typical PO22 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £326,200 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 168%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PO22 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 2001 (+22.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £483,800 against £170,000 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −6.8% | −9.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.1% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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 PO22
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 447 PO22 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 774 sales a year before the financial crisis and 451 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.
What tenants pay around PO22
PO22 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 £326,200 median purchase price, a rent of £1,224 a month (£14,688 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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.

Is PO22 (Barnham) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in PO22 (Barnham)?

Where do PO22 prices go next?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 21% after inflation. 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.

Month by month: when PO22 sells
Across the 2,676 sales completed in PO22 from 2021 to 2025, March was the busiest month for completions (10.5% of the total) and January the quietest (6.6%). With so little between the busiest and quietest months, PO22 sells year round; the calendar is a weaker lever than price.

Moving up a bedroom in PO: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the PO area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £320,000 | £364,250 (+14%) | £420,000 (+15%) | £510,000 (+21%) | £640,000 (+25%) |
| Semi-detached | £270,000 | £300,000 (+11%) | £326,000 (+9%) | £380,000 (+17%) | £445,000 (+17%) |
| Terraced | £225,000 | £245,000 (+9%) | £270,000 (+10%) | £318,250 (+18%) | £385,000 (+21%) |
| Flat | £134,000 | £182,500 (+36%) | £250,000 (+37%) | £325,000 (+30%) | £433,375 (+33%) |
Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
