The SO40 4 median stands at £298,500 for 2026, built from 32 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £327,200, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.
SO40 4 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical SO40 4 home went from £55,200 in 1995 to £298,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 149%: 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 24% 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 SO40 4 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 (+31.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−8.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SO40 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.2% | −7.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.8% | −5.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in SO40 4
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 32 SO40 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 191 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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 rental side of SO40 4
SO40 4 falls under New Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,240 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £861 a month here against £1,984 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, New Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £298,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,240 a month (£14,880 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.
Reading the SO40 4 market
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SO40 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the SO40 district median, SO40 4 sits 11% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What another bedroom costs in SO
Real sold prices by size across the SO area, straight 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.

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.
