In cash terms the typical BH19 2 home went from £56,000 in 1995 to £435,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 257%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash.
Year-on-year change in the BH19 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 2002 (+31.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−11.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BH19 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +28.3% | +25.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.6% | −0.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in BH19 2
The year-by-year sales count
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.
BH19 2 recorded 27 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 155 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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.
Reading the BH19 2 market
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BH19 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
Rents around BH19 2
BH19 2 falls under Dorset, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,041 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £721 a month here against £1,661 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Dorset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £435,000 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.

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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
