Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on SO45: steady sales, so price from the evidence

At around 31 sales a month, SO45 ticks along steadily, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.

If you are thinking of selling, SO45 buyers have mostly paid between £205,900 and £494,500, so start from the nearest comparable sale and work outwards; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.

Sell house

If you are looking to buy, typical prices in SO45 sit above the UK average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.

On any SO45 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (68 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,420 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.

Prices are only part of the picture: the free SO45 OfferCheck adds flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools, and the Report says which deserve your attention.

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 SO45 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in SO45: 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.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the SO45 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.

Questions, answered

The SO45 report: your questions

What is the average house price in SO45?
The typical (median) sold price in SO45 is £315,000, from 250 recorded sales between 15 December 2025 and 21 August 2026. Most sales fell between £205,900 and £494,500. That is 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 SO45?
Typical sold prices by type in SO45: detached homes £398,475 (90 sales), semi-detached homes £317,000 (70 sales), terraced homes £275,000 (53 sales), flats £195,000 (33 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in SO45?
SO45 is billed by New Forest, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,420 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 SO45?
The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the SO45 district centre, the nearest being Wildground Junior School (last Ofsted grade: Good). 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 SO45 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 SO45 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 SO45 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 SO45 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near SO45?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 68 applications within 500 m of the SO45 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 SO45 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 240 distinct addresses in the records we hold for SO45, 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 SO45 cover my exact street?
SO45 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.
