A typical house in Liphook costs about £450,000, which is exactly what a semi-detached house costs here. Detached houses go for £737,500. Flats hardly ever come up. Over the past year prices have barely moved. If your budget is £450,000, you're buying the semi and paying the full asking price for it.
The Land Registry recorded 79 sales in the year to mid-May 2026, at a typical price of £450,000. The type of house matters more than the typical figure suggests. The 24 detached houses that sold went for a typical £737,500, and the 25 semis for £450,000. The 21 terraces came in around £365,000. Only nine flats sold, at about £190,000. That's four very different markets in one small village. What an estate agent calls "a Liphook property" could be any of them.
Prices have moved very little. The official house price index for the area rose by about 1% in the twelve months to May 2026, which is close to no change at all. Flats did slightly worse, down about 2% over the same period. Neither figure means much. The market is settled and holding its price. Sellers who expected their house to have gained a lot in a year will be disappointed. Buyers expecting prices to fall will be disappointed too.
Council tax matches the housing. The most common band in Liphook is D, and only about 14% of homes sit in the two cheapest bands, A and B. A band D bill runs to about £2,340 a year. That's a useful figure to check against what you pay now before you decide the move is affordable.
Rent is only measured across the whole district. The typical private rent across the East Hampshire area was about £1,260 a month in April 2026. That's a mean from the Office for National Statistics rent index, not a Liphook listing price. By size, the district averages were about £900 a month for one bedroom, £1,180 for two, £1,480 for three and £1,970 for four or more. There's no reliable figure for studios or rooms, so treat any rent quoted for one with suspicion.
Affordability is where the numbers start to hurt. Modelled gross household income here, before tax, averaged about £72,000 in the financial year to March 2023. That's comfortable by most standards. Set against a typical price of £450,000, it still means a mortgage most people will feel. Households already on the ladder can trade up locally. First-time buyers will have to settle for a terrace or a flat, and very few flats come up.
Measured by floor area, the typical sale in Liphook worked out at about £4,340 per square metre. The typical home behind that figure had about 103 square metres of floor space. That covers the roughly 84% of sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, not every sale. The rest had no certificate to match against.
The homes lean towards family sizes. The 2021 Census counted about 36% of households with four or more bedrooms and 33% with three. About 22% had two bedrooms and only 10% had one. For a one-bed buyer, that's the whole story of Liphook: there aren't many, and the ones that exist don't come up often.
Liphook's house prices are middling value. You aren't overpaying for what you get, but you aren't getting a deal either, and at the cheaper end there's very little to buy.
