How PO19 4 prices moved
There are too few years of sales in PO19 4 to plot a trend line. The figures below are drawn from the whole record rather than a yearly series.
Section 02
The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

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 PO19 4 values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. PO19 4 is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 19 | 59.4% | £120,000 | £32,000 – £550,000 |
| Detached | 10 | 31.3% | £90,000 | £42,500 – £350,000 |
| Semi-detached | 3 | 9.4% | £138,000 | £50,000 – £325,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in PO19 4
17 of the sales on record are leasehold and 15 freehold — 53.1% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £115,000 and the median freehold sale £130,000 — a gap of +13.0%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 17 | 53.1% | £115,000 |
| Freehold | 15 | 46.9% | £130,000 |
| New build | 1 | 3.1% | £78,250 |
| Existing home | 31 | 96.9% | £120,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -34.8%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.

Living in PO19 4
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Chichester, 44.4% of 65,469 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 7.9% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 520 | 0.8% |
| B | 9,731 | 14.9% |
| C | 18,790 | 28.7% |
| D | 20,545 | 31.4% |
| E | 10,738 | 16.4% |
| F | 3,924 | 6.0% |
| G | 1,221 | 1.9% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Chichester at £1,326 a month as of Jun 2026 — £942 for a one-bedroom home and £1,498 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £117,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 13.54% 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 PO19, 454 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 130 violent, 4 burglary, 10 vehicle-related and 113 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.7 times busier.
Against the 124,068 residents the 2021 census counted in Chichester, that is 3.66 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
The neighbourhood around PO19 4
The 2021 census counted 124,068 residents in Chichester across 54,118 households. 66.8% of those households own their home and 33.2% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
13 state and independent schools have a PO19 postcode: 9 primary, 2 secondary, 1 nursery, 1 16 plus. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How PO19 4 compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. PO19 4 sits below that national figure — -25.4%.
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £32,000 to £550,000. 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.
PO19 4 sits in Chichester, in the South East.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Chichester at 12.3 times median local earnings of £33,692 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 PO19 4?
The median price paid in PO19 4 across every sale on the register is £117,500. 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 PO19 4?
32 sales are on record for PO19 4, the most recent completing on 8 Aug 2018. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
When were PO19 4 house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £115,000, set in 2001. 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 PO19 4?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 8 Aug 2018. 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.
