In cash terms the typical BH13 home went from £110,000 in 1995 to £518,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 117%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 31% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BH13 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 1999 (+26.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−9.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.8% | +1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.6% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 71% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £2,000,000 against £380,000 for a flat, 5.3 times the price.

How many homes change hands in BH13
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
BH13 recorded 146 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 378 sales a year before the financial crisis and 201 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 shape of the BH13 market
This is a thin market: 146 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. BH13 sits 2 of 26 in its area's price order, well inside the expensive end.
What homes rent for around BH13
The local authority for BH13 is Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,404 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £922 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,092 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £518,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,404 a month (£16,848 a year) works out at a 3.2% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

The price of an extra bedroom in BH
Real sold prices by size across the BH area, straight from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £375,000 | £500,000 (+33%) | £744,000 (+49%) | £1,083,250 (+46%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
