In cash terms the typical SO53 4 home went from £90,600 in 1995 to £450,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 128%: 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 17% 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 SO53 4 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 2003 (+20.8% on the year before); the weakest, 1999 (−5.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SO53 4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +0.2% | −2.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +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.
How many homes change hands in SO53 4
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 43 sales completed in SO53 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 243 sales a year before the financial crisis and 79 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 SO53 4
The local authority for SO53 4 is Test Valley, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,215 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £872 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,971 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Test Valley
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £450,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,215 a month (£14,580 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.
How SO53 4 trades
This is a thin market: 43 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. Against the SO53 district median, SO53 4 sits 18% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: SO prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SO area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
