The PO3 (Copnor) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money.

There are no valuations, estimates or asking prices in it.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

The postcode district PO3 covering Hilsea (including Anchorage Park), Copnor, Baffins sits in Portsmouth. A district is the workhorse unit for reading a market: local enough to be meaningful, busy enough that the medians rest on a steady flow of sales.

| 1995 | £52,500 | £114,127 | 333 |
In cash terms the typical PO3 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 141%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 12% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PO3 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 (+27.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−5.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.8% | −4.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 68% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £370,000 against £162,500 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

Sales activity in PO3
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.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 272 PO3 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 451 sales a year before the financial crisis and 258 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.
Rents around PO3
For renting purposes PO3 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 £275,000 median sold price, £1,366 a month is £16,392 a year, a gross yield of 6.0%: 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 another bedroom costs in PO
Real sold prices by size across the PO area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
