In cash terms the typical PO9 2 home went from £52,500 in 1995 to £332,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 191%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2015, and today's median remains roughly 16% under it: a 2015 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PO9 2 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 1997 (+39.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What PO9 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +9.9% | +7.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.0% | −0.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
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.
Sales activity in PO9 2
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
PO9 2 recorded 57 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 171 sales a year before the financial crisis and 123 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 PO9 2 is
This is a thin market: 57 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. Within PO9, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What tenants pay around PO9 2
The local authority for PO9 2 is Havant, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,135 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £840 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,872, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Havant
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £332,500 median sold price, £1,135 a month is £13,620 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: PO prices by size
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%) |

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.
