In cash terms the typical BH21 3 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £395,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 208%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 19% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

Year-on-year change in the BH21 3 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 (+34.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−10.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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 BH21 3

Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.

BH21 3 recorded 52 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 234 sales a year before the financial crisis and 118 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.

What homes rent for around BH21 3

The local authority for BH21 3 is Dorset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.

Against the £395,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,041 a month (£12,492 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.

Reading the BH21 3 market

This is a thin market: 52 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.

Bedroom by bedroom: BH prices by size

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.
