The short answer
Across the 178 Hampshire locations we cover, the average property price is £535,916 and Band D council tax averages £2,319. Chilworth is the most expensive at £900,000, Leigh Park the least at £260,000.
Buying a home in Hampshire
The county average is £535,916. Across these locations 25 schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating and 310 schools are rated Good. School quality is the main reason prices differ between towns a few miles apart.
A 10% deposit on the county average is £53,592. Chilworth runs 68% above that average, so the same deposit reaches further in Leigh Park.

Later life and property wealth in Hampshire
Owners aged 55 and over across Hampshire sit on an average £535,916 of property value. Typical release at 65 is around £182,211, and interest compounds against the estate from day one.
Downsizing within the county is the alternative most people skip. It costs fees and stamp duty but carries no compounding interest. Both routes are compared in the town guides below.
Retirement costs across Hampshire
Band D council tax averages £2,319 across these locations. That is £193 a month before anything else. Authorities set their own rate, so the bill can change with a short move.
Housing is the fixed line in any retirement budget. Each town guide converts the local figure into the pot needed to cover it at a 4% withdrawal rate.
