In cash terms the typical SO20 home went from £124,000 in 1995 to £575,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 113%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SO20 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 1997 (+38.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−21.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SO20 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.4% | −5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −2.1% | −6.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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 detached houses dominate the record here, 58% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £804,600 against £212,500 for a flat, 3.8 times the price.

Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
The register shows 66 SO20 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 126 sales a year before the financial crisis and 83 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.
Reading the SO20 market
This is a thin market: 66 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. SO20 sits 2 of 23 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What tenants pay around SO20
The local authority for SO20 is Test Valley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,215 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £872 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,971, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Test Valley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,215 a month is £14,580 a year, which against the £575,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

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 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £369,500 | £515,000 (+39%) | £775,000 (+50%) | £1,194,217 (+54%) |
| Semi-detached | £275,000 | £316,000 (+15%) | £375,000 (+19%) | £495,000 (+32%) | £837,500 (+69%) |
| Terraced | £255,000 | £282,450 (+11%) | £320,000 (+13%) | £480,125 (+50%) | £792,000 (+65%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
