Hampshire, in numbers

Average home prices reached £364,000 in Hampshire.

Hampshire County Council area — excludes Portsmouth and Southampton. July 2026. Every figure carries its own date.

Hampshire is a county of different local places, from coastal boroughs to market towns and rural communities. This page covers Hampshire County Council and its eleven districts. Portsmouth and Southampton run their own council services and are linked separately. Roads, schools and social care sit mainly with the county; district councils lead local planning, housing advice, waste collection and many regeneration projects.

Data table and workings

Published UK House Price Index average price, all property types and all buyers, not seasonally adjusted. Entire series comes from the 2026-07 official full-file release, preserving its historical revisions and exact area codes. It is a mix-adjusted average, not the median price paid.

Prices are in pounds at the time, not adjusted for inflation.

Whole local authority area; not a typical home listing or the budget needed by a first-time buyer.

Provisional estimates can be revised. Historical boundaries follow the exact published source code; no old-code series has been relabelled.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council

Basingstoke and Deane →

Basingstoke and Deane has major plans for its town centre, leisure park and Manydown, alongside regeneration in existing neighbourhoods. This review keeps potential development separate from completed homes or facilities. The borough also includes rural communities that cannot be represented by town-centre schemes alone.

East Hampshire District Council

East Hampshire →

Whitehill & Bordon’s new town centre needs services to catch up with homes. Its proposed Health Hub remains a live funding issue, while smaller energy projects have already improved community buildings. Alton, Petersfield and rural villages have their own needs; Bordon’s schemes are not district-wide outcomes.

Eastleigh Borough Council

Eastleigh →

Eastleigh’s council is both a planning authority and a developer. One Horton Heath has homes under construction and a school application, while the town centre has completed homes and business space. These stages need separate tracking so a planned facility is never presented as a service already available.

Fareham Borough Council

Fareham →

Fareham combines an established town centre and arts venue with major growth at Welborne and business proposals at Daedalus. The key test is whether homes, schools, transport and jobs arrive together. County-led roads and schools are shown separately from the borough council’s planning and regeneration role.

Gosport Borough Council

Gosport →

Gosport is working on its waterfront, a new People’s Park, bus safety and a community-led programme in Rowner. These address different local needs and have different funding limits. Gosport’s council is separate from Portsmouth across the harbour; the county leads highways and the bus safety partnership.

Hart District Council

Hart →

Hart’s local picture includes Fleet and Hartland Village, community sites in Yateley, Church Crookham and Odiham, and valued countryside. New school provision is county-led; Hart District Council’s own work includes nature, housing and community investment. Grants and plans are distinguished from completed benefits.

Havant Borough Council

Havant →

Havant needs several local stories: access and shops in Havant town centre, a redesigned Waterlooville precinct, community facilities in Leigh Park, nature on Hayling Island and pavilion improvements in Emsworth. These schemes are at different stages. The borough council leads regeneration; Hampshire County Council leads highways and school provision.

New Forest District Council

New Forest →

The New Forest district includes busy towns, coastal communities and rural settlements as well as National Park land. Totton’s regeneration programme remains active; other selected projects have older design evidence and are labelled accordingly. District, county, town and National Park roles must be checked for each place.

Rushmoor Borough Council

Rushmoor →

Aldershot and Farnborough are at different stages of change. Union Yard is complete, Farnborough’s new pools are being built, and other major sites still need delivery decisions. This review keeps completed space, construction, planning consent and future ambitions visibly separate.

Test Valley Borough Council

Test Valley →

Test Valley has just approved further investment in Andover’s theatre, Romsey’s community hub and other local projects. The riverside park has a separate highway approval. These are meaningful delivery steps, but they do not mean the new facilities are already open. Rural projects are tracked separately from the town-centre programme.

Winchester district includes the city, market towns and rural communities. City-centre regeneration and River Park are place-specific; the solar-and-battery programme covers council homes across the wider district, including Alresford.

What could change things?

These responses connect the evidence with practical choices. The action plan separates proposed next steps from projects already announced by public bodies.

Use joint delivery where it solves a local problem

County, district and parish councils already share delivery on schools, town access and bus facilities.

A useful county overview connects each scheme to the council and community responsible.
