Botley market report SO30 4, Southampton

The SO30 4 (Botley) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,503 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SO30 4 (Southampton) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here 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.

In short: the typical home in SO30 4 (Southampton) sold for £375,000 in 2026, the median of 36 registered sales, up 10% on five years earlier. The mean was £378,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,020 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 3,503 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.

A postcode sector like SO30 4 is a single group of streets within SO30 (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 a home in SO30 4 sells for

In the SO30 4 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £375,000, from 36 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £378,700, sitting practically level with it: prices here bunch tightly around the middle.

House prices per square metre in SO30 4

By floor space, homes in SO30 4 have sold for about £4,020 per square metre on average over the last five years: the like-for-like measure that lets you compare a small flat with a large house, from the Energy Performance Certificate floor areas behind each sale.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving SO30 4 32% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical SO30 4 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 188%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+25.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.6%). 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

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.

The turnover behind the prices

SO30 4 recorded 36 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 138 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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.

The shape of the SO30 4 market

Only 36 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SO30 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within SO30, this sector trades 8% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Rents around SO30 4

For renting purposes SO30 4 sits in Eastleigh. The ONS average private rent there is £1,210 a month (May 2026). 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.

Set against the £375,000 median sold price, £1,210 a month is £14,520 a year, a gross yield of 3.9%: 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.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
