In cash terms the typical BH16 6 home went from £77,000 in 1995 to £427,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 155%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 27% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BH16 6 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 2025 (+28.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−20.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.3% | −9.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.5% | −6.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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
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, 26 sales completed in BH16 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 87 sales a year before the financial crisis and 61 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of BH16 6
BH16 6 falls under Dorset, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,041 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £721 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,661, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Dorset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £427,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,041 a month (£12,492 a year) works out at a 2.9% 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.
What kind of market BH16 6 is
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BH16 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the BH16 district median, BH16 6 sits 34% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

What you could buy in BH16 now
The live side of the market holds 62 homes at the moment, listed by 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BH16 district, not just BH16 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 27% 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.

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%) |
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
