Warsash market report SO31 5, Southampton
The SO31 5 (Warsash) 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: 3,696 sales registered with HM Land Registry in SO31 5 (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.
Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 30 registered 2026 sales put the SO31 5 (Southampton) median at £308,500, down 1% on five years earlier, with a mean of £325,400, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,010 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 3,696 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SO31 5 is one sector of SO31 (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.

In cash terms the typical SO31 5 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £308,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 158%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SO31 5 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 2000 (+40.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SO31 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −9.8% | −11.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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 SO31 5
Sales per year, counted
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, 30 sales completed in SO31 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 142 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 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.
Rents around SO31 5
The local authority for SO31 5 is Eastleigh, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
£1,210 a month is £14,520 a year, which against the £308,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. 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.
How SO31 5 trades
This is a thin market: 30 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 SO31, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What another bedroom costs in SO
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
