What a home in PO35 sells for
Take the 28 registered 2026 sales in PO35 and the middle price, the median, is £351,000. The mean lands at £429,700, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
Price per square metre in PO35
The last five years of sales put PO35 at roughly £4,340 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving PO35 23% above the national figure.

| 1996 | £72,000 | £151,845 | 101 |
| 1995 | £69,000 | £149,995 | 75 |
In cash terms the typical PO35 home went from £69,000 in 1995 to £351,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 134%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 34% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PO35 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 54% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £548,300 against £212,500 for a flat, 2.6 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| 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% |
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 PO35
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
PO35 recorded 65 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.
What kind of market PO35 is
Only 65 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PO35 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. PO35 sits 7 of 34 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What tenants pay around PO35
For renting purposes PO35 sits in Isle of Wight. The ONS average private rent there is £946 a month (May 2026). 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.
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.

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 | — | £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%) |

| Flat | £145,000 | £198,000 (+37%) | £290,000 (+46%) | £500,000 (+72%) | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
