St Leonards market report BH24 1, Ringwood
The standing BH24 1 (St Leonards) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,375 sales registered with HM Land Registry in BH24 1 (Ringwood) 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: the 2026 median for BH24 1 (Ringwood) is £395,000, from 63 registered sales, up 18% on five years earlier; the mean is £406,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £4,140 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 6,375 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
BH24 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside BH24 (Ringwood). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical BH24 1 home went from £61,200 in 1995 to £395,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 197%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 8% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BH24 1 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 2000 (+24.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−8.2%). 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) | +2.5% | +0.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 63 sales completed in BH24 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 258 sales a year before the financial crisis and 136 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.
What kind of market BH24 1 is
Within BH24, this sector trades 12% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around BH24 1
For renting purposes BH24 1 sits in New Forest. The ONS average private rent there is £1,240 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £861 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,984, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, New Forest
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,240 a month is £14,880 a year, which against the £395,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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.

BH24's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 107 homes on the market right now, from 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole BH24 district, not just BH24 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
27% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

Bedroom by bedroom: BH prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BH area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £375,000 | £500,000 (+33%) | £744,000 (+49%) | £1,083,250 (+46%) |

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
