| 1996 | £110,000 | £231,985 | 77 |
| 1995 | £125,800 | £273,470 | 52 |
In cash terms the typical SO41 6 home went from £125,800 in 1995 to £580,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 112%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SO41 6 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 2011 (+33.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2012 (−13.9%). 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) | −7.9% | −10.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 26 SO41 6 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 75 sales a year before the financial crisis and 43 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.
What kind of market SO41 6 is
This is a thin market: 26 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 SO41, this sector trades 16% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around SO41 6
The local authority for SO41 6 is New Forest, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,240 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £861 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,984 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, New Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £580,000 median sold price, £1,240 a month is £14,880 a year, a gross yield of 2.6%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The price of an extra bedroom in SO
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SO area. 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.
