Copnor market report PO3 5, Portsmouth
The standing PO3 5 (Copnor) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month.

There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the typical home in PO3 5 (Portsmouth) sold for £265,000 in 2026, the median of 66 registered sales, up 16% on five years earlier. The mean was £273,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,390 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 5,396 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
PO3 5 is one sector of PO3 (Portsmouth): 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.

What a square metre costs in PO3 5

A typical PO3 5 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical PO3 5 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £265,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 144%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 11% 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 PO3 5 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 2003 (+28.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−4.7%). 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) | +3.9% | +1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.1% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
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.
PO3 5 recorded 66 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 229 sales a year before the financial crisis and 113 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 homes rent for around PO3 5
PO3 5 falls under Portsmouth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,366 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£1,366 a month is £16,392 a year, which against the £265,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.2%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 16% over five years in cash but down 8% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

What another bedroom costs in PO
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £350,000 | £475,000 (+36%) | £675,000 (+42%) | £900,000 (+33%) |
