In cash terms the typical BH21 home went from £72,000 in 1995 to £412,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 164%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BH21 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 (+22.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−7.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.9% | −0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 54% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £500,000 against £202,500 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

How many homes change hands in BH21
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
BH21 recorded 452 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 836 sales a year before the financial crisis and 567 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.
The rental side of BH21
For renting purposes BH21 sits in Dorset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,041 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £721 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,661 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Dorset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,041 a month is £12,492 a year, which against the £412,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: BH prices by size
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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
