In cash terms the typical BH14 8 home went from £87,000 in 1995 to £630,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 233%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BH14 8 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 2000 (+29.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−13.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BH14 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.6% | −3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
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.
BH14 8 recorded 71 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 338 sales a year before the financial crisis and 184 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.
Rents around BH14 8
The local authority for BH14 8 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.
£1,404 a month is £16,848 a year, which against the £630,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.7%. 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.
The shape of the BH14 8 market
The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within BH14, this sector trades 57% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

BH14's current homes for sale
This is what you could actually buy today: 127 homes currently on the market from 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BH14 district, not just BH14 8: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 46% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.

The price of an extra bedroom in BH
Real sold prices by size across the BH area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left 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.
