In cash terms the typical BH25 home went from £73,500 in 1995 to £400,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 150%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 25% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BH25 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 (+20.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.4%). 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) | +2.8% | +0.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.0% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 47% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £560,000 against £210,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

Sales activity in BH25
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 371 sales completed in BH25. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 765 sales a year before the financial crisis and 373 a year over the last five. 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 BH25
BH25 falls under New Forest, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,240 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £861 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,984 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £400,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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
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%) |

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.
