Where is Old Portsmouth?

What is the average house price in Old Portsmouth?
The median asking price across the 129 homes for sale in Old Portsmouth is £350,000 (as of 4 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £170,000 and £600,000. That is 25% above Portsmouth. Homes that actually sold in Old Portsmouth went for a median £237,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).

Is Old Portsmouth cheaper than Portsmouth?

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (129 in Old Portsmouth), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings. Figures for Old Portsmouth cover listings within about 1 km of its centre (the dashed ring on the map), not an official boundary.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Old Portsmouth since April 2026.
- Portsmouth comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Portsmouth, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
