SO30 0 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SO30 (Southampton). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SO30 0 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £357,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 184%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 9% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SO30 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 (+34.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−11.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SO30 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +12.1% | +9.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Sales activity in SO30 0
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.
SO30 0 recorded 51 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 166 sales a year before the financial crisis and 112 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.
The rental side of SO30 0
SO30 0 falls under Eastleigh, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,210 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £859 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,866 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Eastleigh
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £357,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,210 a month (£14,520 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.
The shape of the SO30 0 market
This is a thin market: 51 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.

If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

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%) |
| Flat | £155,000 | £220,000 (+42%) | £387,250 (+76%) | £750,000 (+94%) | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

Method, briefly: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0) supplies every sale, geocoded to address level; CPIH from the ONS restates prices in today's money; ONS local-authority figures supply the rents. Medians of real sales, not valuations. No part of this page is financial advice.
