In cash terms the typical SO42 7 home went from £151,000 in 1995 to £790,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 141%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 20% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

Year-on-year change in the SO42 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 2004 (+40.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−8.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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.

SO42 7 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 94 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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.

Rents around SO42 7

SO42 7 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.

Against the £790,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,240 a month (£14,880 a year) works out at a 1.9% 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 kind of market SO42 7 is

This is a thin market: 27 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.

Moving up a bedroom in SO: the cost

Real sold prices by size across the SO area, straight 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.

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

The risers and the fallers
