SO31 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SO31 (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.

House prices per square metre in SO31 7

In cash terms the typical SO31 7 home went from £76,000 in 1995 to £394,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 138%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SO31 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 2000 (+32.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−7.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.0% | −1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.8% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | 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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
SO31 7 recorded 52 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 143 sales a year before the financial crisis and 109 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.
Reading the SO31 7 market
Only 52 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SO31 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the SO31 district median, SO31 7 sits 11% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of SO31 7
The local authority for SO31 7 is Fareham, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,213 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £857 a month here against £1,997 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Fareham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £394,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,213 a month (£14,556 a year) works out at a 3.7% 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 another bedroom costs in SO
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SO area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
