Price per square metre in PO9

In cash terms the typical PO9 home went from £53,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 160%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 15% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the PO9 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 (+20.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−3.4%). 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) | +5.3% | +2.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.4% | 0.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £510,000 against £142,000 for a flat, 3.6 times the price.

The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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.
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.
PO9 recorded 503 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 779 sales a year before the financial crisis and 562 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 PO9
For renting purposes PO9 sits in Havant. The ONS average private rent there is £1,135 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £300,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,135 a month (£13,620 a year) works out at a 4.5% 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.

What another bedroom costs in PO
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%) |
| Semi-detached | £273,250 | £305,000 (+12%) | £352,500 (+16%) | £430,000 (+22%) | £610,000 (+42%) |
