Market Overview: SO18
Activity in SO18 over the last twelve months ran to 26 residential sales, giving a workable sample size for median-level analysis. Individual sales ranged from £65k to £365k, which is a normal spread for a postcode of this size.
Flats were the most common transaction type, representing 58% of sales, while semi-detached houses accounted for 23% and terraced houses accounted for 15%. A flats-heavy composition like this usually points to a city-centre or regeneration postcode where high-density apartment blocks have replaced or supplemented older stock.
The SO18 1AB dataset is a reasonable baseline, but decisions at the individual-property level should still lean on matched comparables rather than the area median alone. On the rental side, the estimated gross yield on a median-priced property here is around 7.7%, based on ONS regional rents.
