Today's BH3 prices, from the sold record
In the BH3 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £327,500, from 27 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £453,800, sitting well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
BH3 prices by floor area
Averaged across five years of sales, floor space in BH3 costs about £4,060 per square metre. Each sale's Energy Performance Certificate supplies the floor area, and pricing by the metre is what lets flats and houses share one scale.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving BH3 15% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical BH3 home went from £100,000 in 1995 to £327,500 in 2026, roughly 3.3 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 51%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2023. The market now sits about 53% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BH3 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 (+84.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−48.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What BH3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −48.4% | −49.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −7.0% | −11.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.1% | −4.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.3% | −2.5% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 52% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £702,500 against £240,000 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

Sales activity in BH3
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
The register shows 61 BH3 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 154 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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.
The shape of the BH3 market
Only 61 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BH3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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.
The rental side of BH3
The local authority for BH3 is Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,404 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £922 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,092, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £327,500 median sold price, £1,404 a month is £16,848 a year, a gross yield of 5.1%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

Bedroom by bedroom: BH prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the BH area, straight 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.

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

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
