In cash terms the typical BH14 home went from £67,200 in 1995 to £400,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 174%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BH14 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 (+25.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−14.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of flats dominate the record here, 39% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £708,800 against £220,000 for a flat, 3.2 times the price.

What BH14 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −14.9% | −16.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.3% | −2.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
BH14 recorded 345 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 804 sales a year before the financial crisis and 416 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 BH14
The local authority for BH14 is Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,404 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £922 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,092, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £400,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.
How BH14 trades
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.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 21% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

The price of an extra bedroom in BH
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BH area, 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%) |
| 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%) |
| Flat | £175,000 | £245,000 (+40%) | £372,500 (+52%) | £625,000 (+68%) | — |
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.
