PO36 8 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside PO36 (Sandown). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical PO36 8 home went from £45,500 in 1995 to £190,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 92%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 39% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PO36 8 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 (+42.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−15.6%). 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) | −15.6% | −17.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.0% | −9.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.6% |
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.
Sales activity in PO36 8
Sales per year, counted
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 register shows 31 PO36 8 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 158 sales a year before the financial crisis and 80 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.
The rental side of PO36 8
PO36 8 falls under Isle of Wight, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £946 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £659 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,508, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Isle of Wight
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £190,000 median sold price, £946 a month is £11,352 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.
How PO36 8 trades
Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PO36 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within PO36, this sector trades 16% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
Moving up a bedroom in PO: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the PO area. 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.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
