In cash terms the typical BH25 7 home went from £86,000 in 1995 to £568,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 204%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 21% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BH25 7 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 (+22.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BH25 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +14.8% | +12.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 54 sales completed in BH25 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 227 sales a year before the financial crisis and 112 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.
The shape of the BH25 7 market
This is a thin market: 54 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. 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. Against the BH25 district median, BH25 7 sits 42% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of BH25 7
For renting purposes BH25 7 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.
Against the £568,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,240 a month (£14,880 a year) works out at a 2.6% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in BH: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the BH area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
