St Helens Fort market report PO33 3, Ryde
The PO33 3 (St Helens Fort) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 5,622 registered sales in PO33 3 (Ryde) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: the 2026 median for PO33 3 (Ryde) is £271,000, from 57 registered sales, up 11% on five years earlier; the mean is £278,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,270 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 5,622 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
PO33 3 is one sector of PO33 (Ryde): 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.

In cash terms the typical PO33 3 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £271,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 171%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PO33 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 (+24.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−10.4%). 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) | +0.4% | −2.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 57 sales completed in PO33 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 222 sales a year before the financial crisis and 117 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.
Reading the PO33 3 market
This is a thin market: 57 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 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. Within PO33, this sector trades 12% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of PO33 3
PO33 3 falls under Isle of Wight, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £946 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £659 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,508 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Isle of Wight
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£946 a month is £11,352 a year, which against the £271,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.

No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is up 11% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
The price of an extra bedroom in PO
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PO area, 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.
| 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%) |
| Flat | £145,000 | £198,000 (+37%) | £290,000 (+46%) | £500,000 (+72%) | — |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
