In cash terms the typical BH31 6 home went from £71,000 in 1995 to £401,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 160%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the BH31 6 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 2003 (+28.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−4.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.5% | −3.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.9% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.6% | −0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 60 sales completed in BH31 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 345 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.
The rental side of BH31 6
BH31 6 falls under Dorset, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,041 a month (May 2026 figures). 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.
Set against the £401,500 median sold price, £1,041 a month is £12,492 a year, a gross yield of 3.1%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in BH
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.

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