June's district average now reads £445,491 after a Land Registry revision, a £4,659 rise on May. How East Hampshire compared with Winchester and Havant.
The average home in the East Hampshire district was worth £446,392 in June 2026, up £5,592 on May, according to the UK House Price Index published by HM Land Registry.
Correction, 20 September 2026. HM Land Registry has since revised the June figure this article is built on. It now stands at £445,491, £901 below the £446,392 published in August, and the annual change for June reads +0.2% rather than +0.4%. The monthly rise against May is therefore £4,659, not £5,592. The July 2026 figures are in our latest house price report.
That one month added more than three times what the previous twelve months managed. Over the year to June the district average rose just £1,737, or 0.4%.
It was a 1.3% jump, the biggest cash rise in the district since June 2025. Of England’s 295 local authority districts, East Hampshire came 50th on the month and 219th on the year. In other words: a sharp month sitting on top of a year that went almost nowhere.
The month against the year
The two numbers point in different directions because they measure different things. The monthly figure is one month of completions, and it swings. The annual figure is where the market has actually got to.
Here is what the district average has done since last summer, from the same Land Registry series:
- July 2025: £445,949
- October 2025: £441,898
- December 2025: £437,513
- March 2026: £439,389
- April 2026: £437,445
- May 2026: £440,800
- June 2026: £446,392
The line fell through the autumn to a low of £437,513 in December, matched it almost exactly in April at £437,445, and has risen in the two months since. June is the first month above last July’s level.
Still below the 2022 record
The district’s highest ever average was £459,543, in October 2022. Nearly four years on, June’s £446,392 is £13,151, or 2.9%, below it.
Which homes moved
The district average is one number covering a district that runs from the hangers above Steep to the estates of Bordon. The type split, all June 2026 averages with the annual change alongside, shows where the flat year came from:
| Property type | Average price | Change over the year |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | £714,262 | -0.4% |
| Semi-detached | £436,253 | +1.4% |
| Terraced | £336,652 | +1.4% |
| Flat or maisonette | £203,168 | -0.8% |
Detached houses are the district’s dominant stock and the reason its average sits so far above the county figure. They also fell over the year, which is most of the explanation for East Hampshire’s 0.4%. Semi-detached and terraced homes, the middle of the market, both rose 1.4%.
A first-time buyer in the district paid an average of £314,228, up 0.9%. A former owner-occupier paid £544,744, up 0.1%. The £230,516 between those two is the size of the step from a first home to a family one here.
The neighbours
East Hampshire’s 1.3% was the joint largest monthly rise of Hampshire’s 13 council areas in June, level with Havant. On the year it was a different picture, with the district ninth of the 13.
| Area | Average price, June 2026 | Change over the year |
|---|---|---|
| Waverley borough | £560,596 | -0.8% |
| Hart district | £479,978 | +2.3% |
| Winchester district | £471,136 | +4.6% |
| East Hampshire district | £446,392 | +0.4% |
| Chichester district | £429,978 | -2.3% |
| South East region | £380,380 | +0.3% |
| Hampshire county | £364,281 | +1.4% |
| Havant borough | £320,643 | +3.9% |
| England | £293,262 | +1.8% |
Two things stand out. Winchester rose 4.6% and is now £24,744 dearer than East Hampshire, having been much closer a year ago. And Havant, immediately south across the Horndean boundary, averages £320,643, which is £125,749 less than East Hampshire for a border you can walk across.
What it means for you
If you are buying, one strong month is not a turning point, and the annual figure is what a lender’s valuer will be looking at. But the run of falls that started last autumn has stopped: April was the low, and prices have added £8,947 since. There is less reason than there was six months ago to expect a better price by waiting.
If you are selling a detached house, the market you are in fell 0.4% over the year while the rest of the district rose. Price to that, not to the headline.
If you are selling a flat, it is the only category still falling, down 0.8%.
If you are staying put, your home is worth a little more than last summer and still less than it was in late 2022, in cash terms and considerably less once inflation is counted.

Two things to know about these numbers
UKHPI is a mean average, not a median. It is pulled up by the district’s large detached houses. The middle sale is lower: on completed Land Registry sales in the year to June 2026, the median across the district was £420,000.
May was revised. When the May figure was first published it read £440,217 and +0.7% over the year. In this release it is £440,800 and +0.8%, a revision of £583. Land Registry revises recent months as more sales are registered, so June’s figure will move too.
