Corfe Mullen market report BH21 4, Wimborne

The standing BH21 4 (Corfe Mullen) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 1,454 registered sales in BH21 4 (Wimborne) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.

Covers registered sales to 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.

In short: 14 registered 2026 sales put the BH21 4 (Wimborne) median at £397,500, down 5% on five years earlier, with a mean of £495,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,490 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 1,454 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.

A postcode sector like BH21 4 is a single group of streets within BH21 (Wimborne), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

A typical BH21 4 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)

Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

In cash terms the typical BH21 4 home went from £102,000 in 1995 to £397,500 in 2026, roughly 3.9 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 79%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2010, and today's median remains roughly 37% under it: a 2010 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.

Year-on-year change in the BH21 4 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 2010 (+42.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−23.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

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 register shows 14 BH21 4 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 70 sales a year over the last five years against 37 before the financial crisis. 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 BH21 4

The local authority for BH21 4 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.

£1,041 a month is £12,492 a year, which against the £397,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.1%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

Reading the BH21 4 market

Only 14 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BH21 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Of everything listed here, 25% 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.

Bedroom by bedroom: BH prices by size

What homes of each size actually sold for across the BH area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
