Summary
House prices in PO40: the typical (median) sold price is £280,000, close to the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index, July 2026). Over the last twelve months the local median is down 11.2%, comparing 90 sales with 118, so a handful of homes can swing it. PO40 is a quiet market, with about 9 recorded sales a month. By property type, 40% were detached homes (typically £362,500) and 39% were semi-detached homes (typically £261,000).

Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on PO40: a quiet market, so take your time
PO40 has seen just 250 sales since March 2024, and prices have drifted down, so sellers should plan for a longer sale and buyers can afford to be patient.
If you are thinking of selling, with detached homes at £362,500 and flats at £140,000, the £110,000 to £471,500 spread is really several markets, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; with so little to compare, give yourself extra time; a quick cash sale buys certainty at a cost, usually about 70–85% of market value as a rough guide, not a quote, so weigh it carefully.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, PO40 sits close to the UK average for typical prices, with prices easing, so it is fair to ask why an asking price sits above recent sales.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (503 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,626 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free PO40 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Isle of Wight (PO40) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £362,500 against £140,000 for flats: about 2.6 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £110,000 and £471,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is a quiet district: only about 9 recorded sales a month.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

PO40 9BE, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 3 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 PO40 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in PO40: 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.

What it costs to run a home in PO40, band by band
Isle of Wight's council tax for 2026-27 set against the PO40 median sold price of £280,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the PO40 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. 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.
