In cash terms the typical BH31 7 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £420,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 158%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 22% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the BH31 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 2008 (+36.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2013 (−24.2%). 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) | +9.1% | +6.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.6% |
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
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, 25 sales completed in BH31 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 121 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market BH31 7 is
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BH31 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around BH31 7
The local authority for BH31 7 is Dorset, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,041 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £721 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,661, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Dorset
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,041 a month is £12,492 a year, which against the £420,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in BH
What homes of each size actually sold for across the BH area, from the Land Registry record. 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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
