In cash terms the typical PO35 5 home went from £69,000 in 1995 to £351,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 134%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 34% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the PO35 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 2000 (+36.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−17.6%). 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) | −8.8% | −11.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.5% | −8.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.8% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PO35 5
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
PO35 5 recorded 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 120 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 a year over the last five. 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.
The shape of the PO35 5 market
This is a thin market: 28 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.
What homes rent for around PO35 5
For renting purposes PO35 5 sits in Isle of Wight. The ONS average private rent there is £946 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £659 a month here against £1,508 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Isle of Wight
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £351,000 median purchase price, a rent of £946 a month (£11,352 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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 price of an extra bedroom 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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
