In cash terms the typical BH15 2 home went from £58,200 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 157%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2018; the current median sits about 16% below that. Someone who bought at the 2018 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BH15 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 2000 (+25.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−11.1%). 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) | +10.2% | +7.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.5% | −1.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Sales activity in BH15 2
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 35 sales completed in BH15 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 168 sales a year before the financial crisis and 98 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.
Reading the BH15 2 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BH15 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
Rents around BH15 2
For renting purposes BH15 2 sits in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. The ONS average private rent there is £1,404 a month (May 2026). 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.
Set against the £325,000 median sold price, £1,404 a month is £16,848 a year, a gross yield of 5.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £375,000 | £500,000 (+33%) | £744,000 (+49%) | £1,083,250 (+46%) |
