How Garden Close, Andover prices moved

Median of the yearly medians in each decade.

The highest yearly median on record for Garden Close, Andover is £130,000 in 2007; the lowest is £45,000 in 1996. Across the full 20-year record the cash median has moved from £45,000 to £118,000.

In 2026 money that first median is worth £97,615, so the real change over the whole record is +70.4% — about +2.85% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.

Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +0.9% in cash against -21.9% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

Homes that sold twice

These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Garden Close, Andover values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Ownership and new build in Garden Close, Andover

119 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.

A further 3 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Test Valley at £1,226 a month as of Jun 2026 — £881 for a one-bedroom home and £1,396 for three bedrooms.

Against the median sale of £95,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 15.49% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of SP10, 294 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 145 violent, 5 burglary, 2 vehicle-related and 39 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.8 times busier.

Against the 130,492 residents the 2021 census counted in Test Valley, that is 2.25 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.

A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

Section 08

How Garden Close, Andover compares

The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Garden Close, Andover sits below that national figure — -39.7%.

Within Andover the street ranks 901 of 935 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £189,000 (-49.7%).

Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £1,477 per square metre, across 24 of the 119 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

The full range on record runs from £35,000 to £154,500. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Garden Close, Andover sits in Test Valley, in England.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Test Valley at 9.4 times median local earnings of £38,976 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers

Common questions about this data

What is the average house price in Garden Close, Andover?

The median price paid in Garden Close, Andover across every sale on the register is £95,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.

How many homes have sold in Garden Close, Andover?

In cash, the median rose +0.9% between 2005 and 2015. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -21.9%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.

When were Garden Close, Andover house prices at their highest?

The highest yearly median on record is £130,000, set in 2007. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

What is the price per square metre in Garden Close, Andover?

£1,477 per square metre, from the 24 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.

How current is this data?

The latest sale shown here completed on 8 Aug 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
