Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,496 sales registered with HM Land Registry in BH12 2 (Poole) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS.

BH12 2 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside BH12 (Poole). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

BH12 2 sold prices: where the market stands
The BH12 2 median stands at £305,000 for 2026, built from 44 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £311,300, almost on top of it, so sales bunch tightly around the typical price.
BH12 2 prices by floor area

In cash terms the typical BH12 2 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £305,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 181%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BH12 2 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+30.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−5.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BH12 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.8% | −8.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in BH12 2
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 44 sales completed in BH12 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 241 sales a year before the financial crisis and 108 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of BH12 2
For renting purposes BH12 2 sits in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. The ONS average private rent there is £1,404 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £922 a month here against £2,092 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,404 a month is £16,848 a year, which against the £305,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
Reading the BH12 2 market
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BH12 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

BH12's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 222 homes at the moment, listed by 12 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BH12 district, not just BH12 2: live asking prices are collected per district.
22% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in BH: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BH area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £375,000 | £500,000 (+33%) | £744,000 (+49%) | £1,083,250 (+46%) |
| Semi-detached | £293,000 | £329,975 (+13%) | £375,000 (+14%) | £480,000 (+28%) | £700,000 (+46%) |
| Terraced | £265,000 | £305,000 (+15%) | £350,000 (+15%) | £460,000 (+31%) | £600,000 (+30%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
