Sholing market report SO19 7, Southampton

The standing SO19 7 (Sholing) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 3,896 registered sales in SO19 7 (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.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: 39 registered 2026 sales put the SO19 7 (Southampton) median at £270,000, up 17% on five years earlier, with a mean of £255,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,480 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,896 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

A postcode sector like SO19 7 is a single group of streets within SO19 (Southampton), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

What buyers actually paid in SO19 7

The SO19 7 median stands at £270,000 for 2026, built from 39 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £255,600, below it, which usually means a cluster of very cheap recorded transfers is dragging the average down.

House prices per square metre in SO19 7

Measured by floor area, the last five years of SO19 7 sales average about £3,480 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving SO19 7 5% below the national figure.

In cash terms the typical SO19 7 home went from £46,000 in 1995 to £270,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 170%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.

Year-on-year change in the SO19 7 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 (+25.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−5.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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 SO19 7

The year-by-year sales count

Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.

Over the last twelve months of data, 39 sales completed in SO19 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 164 sales a year before the financial crisis and 84 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.

Rents around SO19 7

For renting purposes SO19 7 sits in Southampton. The ONS average private rent there is £1,250 a month (May 2026). 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.

Against the £270,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,250 a month (£15,000 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.

What kind of market SO19 7 is

Only 39 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SO19 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Bedroom by bedroom: SO prices by size

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.

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

The risers and the fallers

The spread across the SO area is the point: the same five years treated these districts very differently.
