Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on PO18: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead

PO18 is neither busy nor quiet, at about 15 sales a month, enough to learn from, though the year-on-year comparison is too thin to quote, so lean on the recent sold homes.

When selling here, the spread in PO18 is wide, with most sales between £270,000 and £1,122,498, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.

Sell house

For buyers, typical prices in PO18 sit well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.

Before you offer in PO18, check planning history nearby (10 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,487 a year), and ask your conveyancer about the title.

With averages this broad, the free PO18 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning and council tax from the official sources.

In plain English

What the Arun (PO18) numbers mean

  • The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £656,000 against £245,000 for flats: about 2.7 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
  • Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £270,000 and £1,122,498, so the median says little about any one home.
  • Nearly all of these sales (94%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.

Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

  • This is a quiet district: only about 15 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled PO18 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 10, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

PO18 8QB, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so PO18 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in PO18: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in PO18, band by band

Arun's council tax for 2026-27 set against the PO18 median sold price of £516,250 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.

Questions, answered

The PO18 report: your questions

What is the average house price in PO18?
The typical (median) sold price in PO18 is £516,250, from 250 recorded sales between 28 March 2025 and 21 August 2026. Most sales fell between £270,000 and £1,122,498. That is well above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
What does each type of home cost in PO18?
Typical sold prices by type in PO18: detached homes £656,000 (108 sales), semi-detached homes £410,000 (63 sales), terraced homes £340,000 (50 sales), flats £245,000 (14 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in PO18?
PO18 is billed by Arun, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,487 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near PO18?
The Department for Education's register lists 5 open schools within 3 km of the PO18 district centre, the nearest being Oakwood School. These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the PO18 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is PO18 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 PO18 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 4 to decile 10, with a median of decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like PO18 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near PO18?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 10 applications within 500 m of the PO18 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in PO18 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 243 distinct addresses in the records we hold for PO18, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
Does PO18 cover my exact street?
PO18 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
