What do houses cost in Boorley Green?

For anyone buying or renting in Boorley Green.

Houses in Boorley Green cost about £430,000, and that's before anyone mentions the detached ones. Detached homes pass half a million. Semis come in well below that. Prices have gone nowhere over the year. You pay a settled price for a place that isn't settled yet.

The Land Registry's twelve months to the end of April 2026 recorded 48 sales at a typical price of about £432,500. The split is by house type, with location barely coming into it: 30 detached houses went for around £512,000 and 16 semis for around £372,500. Those two types account for nearly every sale, which tells you what sort of market this is. Anyone hoping for a cheap terrace to get a foot in the door will spend a long time refreshing a search that doesn't return one.

The index that tracks the wider area had its average price exactly where it was a year earlier, a 0% change in the twelve months to May 2026, with the average sitting at about £308,000. Flats in the same index slipped about 3% over the year. None of that is dramatic, and the prose isn't going to pretend otherwise. A flat line is a flat line. The only people who'll find it exciting are the estate agents writing "stable market" into every listing like it's a selling point.

Band D is the most common council-tax band here, and only about 6% of homes fall into bands A or B. The Band D bill runs to about £2,340 a year. That's what comes with a house built for a family and valued like one, and in Boorley Green there isn't a cheaper band to hide in.

Renting has to be read at council level. Typical private rent across the Eastleigh area was about £1,210 a month as of April 2026, up about 4% on the year. By size, that's roughly £860 for a one-bed, £1,110 for a two-bed, £1,350 for a three-bed and £1,860 for four bedrooms or more. These are averages from the Office for National Statistics' rent index covering all of Eastleigh, not asking rents on these particular streets. In a place built mostly for owners, the local rental supply will be thinner than that council-wide figure suggests.

Local incomes help, up to a point. Modelled gross household income, before tax, averaged around £85,000 across the area in the financial year to March 2023. That's healthy money, and it's the reason the prices hold. It still leaves a detached house at half a million as a serious stretch rather than a comfortable step. Two good salaries get you through the door. One good salary gets you a long chat with a mortgage adviser about term lengths.

For the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, about 69% of them, the median price per square metre was around £3,970, with a typical floor area of about 110 square metres. So the money buys proper family space, not a new-build shoebox with a feature wall. Buyers comparing square metres rather than bedroom counts will find the space here is roughly what the price implies, with no hidden bargain in it.

At the 2021 Census the bedroom mix leaned hard towards families: about 2% of homes had one bedroom, 20% had two, 41% had three and 38% had four or more. Three- and four-bedroom houses are what's on sale here. Anyone shopping for a one-bed is in the wrong place, and the market has made that decision already.

Boorley Green is middling on cost and leans towards pricey. It charges full family-house money for modern space, and nothing in the flat index says a discount is coming.
