| 1996 | £68,000 | £143,409 | 139 |
| 1995 | £64,000 | £139,126 | 133 |
In cash terms the typical SO52 home went from £64,000 in 1995 to £357,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 157%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SO52 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 (+21.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of semi-detached homes dominate the record here, 35% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £477,500 against £207,500 for a flat, 2.3 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.9% | −6.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.1% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 100 sales completed in SO52. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 145 sales a year before the financial crisis and 95 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.
Rents around SO52
For renting purposes SO52 sits in Test Valley. The ONS average private rent there is £1,215 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £872 a month here against £1,971 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Test Valley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £357,500 median sold price, £1,215 a month is £14,580 a year, a gross yield of 4.1%: 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.
How SO52 trades
This is a thin market: 100 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SO: the cost
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.

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

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
