We’ve crunched the numbers to compile a list of the 13 neighbourhoods within Hampshire where prices rose by the biggest percentage between September 2019 and September 2024, the latest date for which localised housing statistics are available.
They range from districts of Portsmouth, Southampton and Winchester to more rural spots in Test Valley and the New Forest.
