In cash terms the typical SO40 8 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 168%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SO40 8 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 2002 (+36.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−12.4%). 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
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.9% | −1.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 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.
How many homes change hands in SO40 8
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.
SO40 8 recorded 48 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 251 sales a year before the financial crisis and 110 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.
What homes rent for around SO40 8
SO40 8 falls under New Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,240 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £861 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,984, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, New Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £320,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,240 a month (£14,880 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.
The shape of the SO40 8 market
This is a thin market: 48 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.

What another bedroom costs in SO
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SO area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £369,500 | £515,000 (+39%) | £775,000 (+50%) | £1,194,217 (+54%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
