A postcode sector like PO4 9 is a single group of streets within PO4 (Southsea), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

In cash terms the typical PO4 9 home went from £48,400 in 1995 to £252,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 140%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the PO4 9 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 2002 (+31.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−16.2%). 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) | −5.9% | −8.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in PO4 9
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.
PO4 9 recorded 92 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 474 sales a year before the financial crisis and 210 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.
Rents around PO4 9
PO4 9 falls under Portsmouth, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,366 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £899 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,961 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Portsmouth
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £252,500 median sold price, £1,366 a month is £16,392 a year, a gross yield of 6.5%: 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.

Moving up a bedroom in PO: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the PO area, 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%) |

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.
