The SO32 1 (Bishop's Waltham) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 4,903 registered sales in SO32 1 (Southampton) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh.
In short: 49 registered 2026 sales put the SO32 1 (Southampton) median at £375,000, down 9% on five years earlier, with a mean of £400,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,400 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 4,903 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SO32 1 is one sector of SO32 (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.

House prices per square metre in SO32 1

In cash terms the typical SO32 1 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 130%: 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 28% 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 SO32 1 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 2016 (+23.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−10.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.4% | −1.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.8% | −6.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
SO32 1 recorded 49 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 186 sales a year before the financial crisis and 120 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 SO32 1 market
This is a thin market: 49 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within SO32, this sector trades 16% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around SO32 1
For renting purposes SO32 1 sits in Winchester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,505 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,014 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,247 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Winchester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £375,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,505 a month (£18,060 a year) works out at a 4.8% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SO: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SO area, straight 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.
