Canford Heath market report BH17 7, Poole
The standing BH17 7 (Canford Heath) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 5,750 sales registered with HM Land Registry in BH17 7 (Poole) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 64 registered 2026 sales put the BH17 7 (Poole) median at £297,500, up 5% on five years earlier, with a mean of £303,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,330 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 5,750 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
BH17 7 is one sector of BH17 (Poole): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

In cash terms the typical BH17 7 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £297,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 149%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BH17 7 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 2003 (+20.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−9.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.0% | −9.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 64 BH17 7 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 247 sales a year before the financial crisis and 117 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around BH17 7
For renting purposes BH17 7 sits in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. The ONS average private rent there is £1,404 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £922 a month here against £2,092 for four or more bedrooms.

ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £297,500 median sold price, £1,404 a month is £16,848 a year, a gross yield of 5.7%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in BH
Real sold prices by size across the BH area, straight 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.
