In cash terms the typical SO14 0 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £181,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 178%: 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 32% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SO14 0 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 (+30.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−21.1%). 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) | −21.1% | −22.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.9% | −7.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.7% | −2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.2% | −1.5% |
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 SO14 0
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 12 sales completed in SO14 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 104 sales a year before the financial crisis and 52 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 homes rent for around SO14 0
SO14 0 falls under Southampton, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,250 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £875 a month here against £1,882 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Southampton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £181,500 median sold price, £1,250 a month is £15,000 a year, a gross yield of 8.3%: 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.
Reading the SO14 0 market
Only 12 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SO14 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the SO14 district median, SO14 0 sits 9% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs in SO
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SO area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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.
