Portsmouth property market: common questions
Where is Portsmouth?
Portsmouth sits on the edge of Hampshire, covering about 15 square miles.
What is the average house price in Portsmouth?
The median asking price across the 1,044 homes for sale in Portsmouth is £280,000 (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 £210,000 and £395,000. That is 20% below the UK. Homes that actually sold in Portsmouth went for a median £265,000 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Portsmouth rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Portsmouth is up 47% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Portsmouth cheaper than the UK?
Yes: asking prices in Portsmouth are typically lower than across the UK. The median asking price in Portsmouth is £280,000 against £350k across the UK: 20% below the UK. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.

How much do flats and houses cost in Portsmouth?
The median asking price for a flat in Portsmouth is £179,995. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £275,000 across 401 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Portsmouth?

How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (1,044 in Portsmouth), refreshed daily, as of 4 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- 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 Portsmouth since May 2026.
- UK comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of UK, 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.
