BH4 9 is one sector of BH4 (Bournemouth): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

Today's BH4 9 prices, from the sold record

The 2026 median for BH4 9 is £215,000, taken from 29 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £276,400, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

What a square metre costs in BH4 9

Per square metre, BH4 9 homes have averaged around £3,660 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

The national median for England and Wales is £285,000, which puts BH4 9 25% below the country at large.

In cash terms the typical BH4 9 home went from £49,000 in 1995 to £215,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 102%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2006. The market now sits about 33% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+32.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

What BH4 9 has returned, per year

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

Over the last twelve months of data, 29 sales completed in BH4 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 198 sales a year before the financial crisis and 79 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.

How BH4 9 trades

Only 29 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes BH4 9 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. Against the BH4 district median, BH4 9 sits 17% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

The rental side of BH4 9

The local authority for BH4 9 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.

Set against the £215,000 median sold price, £1,404 a month is £16,848 a year, a gross yield of 7.8%: 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.

BH4 9 (Westbourne): the questions that come up

Are BH4 9 prices heading up or down?

That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is down 10% over five years in cash but down 29% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
