What homes sell for in PO1

Homes in PO1 sold for a typical £220,000 in the 12 months to June 2026, 2.2% down on the year before. Half of all sales were between £184,375 and £260,000. That is 27% below the typical price across PO (Portsmouth), £300,000. It is the 34th most expensive of 34 districts in PO.

Type Share of sales Typical price
Detached 1% (2 sales) Too few sales to say
Semi-detached 3% (7 sales) £209,000
Terraced 59% (123 sales) £230,000
Flats 37% (78 sales) £187,500

Terraced homes made up the biggest share of sales (59%). 38% of sales were leasehold and 0% were new build.

The typical price is the median: half the homes sold for more, half for less. It moves with the mix of homes that sold, so a change does not mean every home in PO1 is worth that much more or less. The figures for a single street can be very different, which is what the report for one home is for.

How we know

A home needs an energy certificate (EPC) before it can be sold or let. When more certificates are lodged in a sector than usual, more homes tend to come to market there in the months that follow. We count them every month for every postcode sector in England and rank each sector against the rest of its postcode area.

How accurate is this? Tested on Coventry (CV) and Birmingham (B) postcode sectors, May 2011 to Feb 2025: this call picked the busier sectors 55 times in 100 over the next six months, against 49 for assuming last year's trend carries on. A useful lean, not a certainty.

This is a view on how many homes come to market. It says nothing about where prices will go.
