The SO14 6 (City Centre) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 2,915 registered sales in SO14 6 (Southampton) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

Behind the figures sit 2,915 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
SO14 6 is one sector of SO14 (Southampton): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

House prices per square metre in SO14 6

In cash terms the typical SO14 6 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £256,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 114%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. 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 SO14 6 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 (+27.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−6.2%). 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) | +2.4% | 0.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 16 sales completed in SO14 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 140 sales a year before the financial crisis and 42 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.
Reading the SO14 6 market
This is a thin market: 16 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. Within SO14, this sector trades 28% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of SO14 6
The local authority for SO14 6 is Southampton, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,250 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £875 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,882 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Southampton
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £256,000 median sold price, £1,250 a month is £15,000 a year, a gross yield of 5.9%: 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.

What you could buy in SO14 now

Moving up a bedroom in SO: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SO area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
