Sandown market report PO36
The PO36 (Sandown) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. The raw material for this page is 11,233 HM Land Registry entries for PO36 (Sandown), going back to 1995: each an actual purchase at an actual price. Rents come from the ONS. Valuations, estimates and asking prices appear nowhere in it.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 109 registered 2026 sales put the PO36 (Sandown) median at £225,000, down 10% on five years earlier, with a mean of £252,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,130 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 11,233 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
The postcode district PO36 covering Sandown sits in Sandown. 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.

What PO36 homes really sell for
The 2026 median for PO36 is £225,000, taken from 109 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £252,200, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
What a square metre costs in PO36
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in PO36 costs about £3,130 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so PO36 trades 21% below the country as a whole.

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical PO36 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £225,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 116%, 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 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PO36 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 (+23.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−13.1%). 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) | −13.1% | −15.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.1% | −6.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £325,000 against £147,500 for a flat, 2.2 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 198 sales completed in PO36. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 469 sales a year before the financial crisis and 224 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.
What homes rent for around PO36
PO36 falls under Isle of Wight, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £946 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
£946 a month is £11,352 a year, which against the £225,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.0%. 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.
What kind of market PO36 is
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. In its area's price order PO36 comes 32 of 34, towards the cheaper end of the table.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is down 10% over five years in cash but down 29% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| 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%) |

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.
