In cash terms the typical PO9 5 home went from £47,500 in 1995 to £245,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 137%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. 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 PO9 5 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 (+23.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.9%). 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) | −1.2% | −3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.7% | +0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +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 PO9 5
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.
PO9 5 recorded 39 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 141 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of PO9 5
The local authority for PO9 5 is Havant, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,135 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £840 a month here against £1,872 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Havant
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £245,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,135 a month (£13,620 a year) works out at a 5.6% 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.
How PO9 5 trades
Only 39 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes PO9 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the PO9 district median, PO9 5 sits 18% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

PO9's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 22 homes currently on the market from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole PO9 district, not just PO9 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
10% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom in PO
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
