In cash terms the typical SO43 7 home went from £99,000 in 1995 to £475,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 121%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 33% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SO43 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 1999 (+43.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2014 (−21.4%). 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) | +8.0% | +5.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.4% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.3% | −0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.5% |
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 SO43 7
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
SO43 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 93 sales a year before the financial crisis and 56 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 SO43 7 market
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. 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.
The rental side of SO43 7
SO43 7 falls under New Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £475,000 median sold price, £1,240 a month is £14,880 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: SO prices by size
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.

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
