Land by postcode · SO area · Eastleigh
Eastleigh covers two postcode districts, SO50 and SO53, in Hampshire. Planning applications here are decided mostly by the Eastleigh planning authority, with Test Valley covering the rest. Below: what homes sold for, which planning controls apply, and what that means before you sell or develop a plot in Eastleigh.
Residential sales recorded by HM Land Registry between 2024-08 and 2026-07 across both of Eastleigh's postcode districts. This is market context for the town, not a land valuation: what a plot is worth depends on what can be built on it, which these figures do not show.

New-build sales 2023–2024: 97 of 2,176 (4%). A rough proxy for recent building activity: these are homes sold by builders, not development sites.
For each designation on the planning.data.gov.uk register, the share of the 2,180 live postcodes in Eastleigh's two districts whose centroid falls inside it. This measures postcodes, not land area, and says nothing about any individual plot.

No postcodes in Eastleigh's two districts fall inside: Green Belt, National Landscape (AONB), Article 4 Direction area.
Flood zones, tree preservation orders, local plan allocations, settlement boundaries and non-designated heritage are not included here and are checked in a full assessment.
None of these designations covers more than a small share of postcodes in Eastleigh. What can be built on a given plot is decided by the local plan, settlement boundaries and site-specific matters such as access, flood risk and neighbours, none of which this page measures.
These are town-level facts. The free assessment checks your actual boundary against the same registers and the local plan and tells you plainly what they mean for your plot.
Eastleigh's two districts are split between planning authorities: Eastleigh (92% of sampled postcodes), Test Valley (7%).
Draw your boundary, tell us what you own, and an architect checks it against these registers and the local plan. Free, no obligation, and you get a straight written answer.
It depends on where the plot sits, not on the town average. Across Eastleigh, 0% of postcodes are in the Green Belt and 1% in a conservation area. Outside those designations the questions that decide it are whether the plot is inside or adjoining the settlement boundary in the local plan, whether it has its own road access, and what is next to it.
No Article 4 direction is recorded for Eastleigh, so houses keep their normal permitted development rights for outbuildings and extensions within the size limits. Those rights do not extend to agricultural land, paddocks or a change of use to residential, which normally need permission or prior approval.
Developers look at three things before they talk about price: whether the plot is outside the Green Belt and any National Landscape, whether it sits inside or beside the settlement boundary, and what finished homes sell for. In Eastleigh the median sale is £350,000, from £320,000 in SO50 to £400,625 in SO53, and only 4% of 2023–2024 sales were new-build homes, so builders have been quiet here. A single plot usually goes to a local builder or a self-builder; a site for five or more homes attracts regional housebuilders, normally through an option or a conditional contract rather than an outright purchase, so the price you see quoted is not the price you receive.
There is no town figure for land, because a plot's value comes from what can be built on it, not from where it is. As a guide, a serviced plot with consent for one house commonly sells for around a third of the finished house value, which in Eastleigh would be measured against a £350,000 median sale. The same plot without consent, or inside the Green Belt, is worth a small fraction of that, and a paddock with no realistic route to consent is worth agricultural or amenity value only. The free check tells you which of those your plot is before you talk to anyone about a price.
