BH7 7 is one sector of BH7 (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.

In cash terms the typical BH7 7 home went from £83,000 in 1995 to £517,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 187%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the BH7 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 2002 (+29.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−10.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −9.6% | −11.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +2.7% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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
The year-by-year sales count
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, 24 sales completed in BH7 7. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 87 sales a year before the financial crisis and 40 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.
The rental side of BH7 7
For renting purposes BH7 7 sits in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. The ONS average private rent there is £1,404 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £922 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,092 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £517,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,404 a month (£16,848 a year) works out at a 3.3% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the BH7 7 market
This is a thin market: 24 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within BH7, this sector trades 16% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is up 10% over five years in cash but down 13% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.

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. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £343,321 | £390,000 (+14%) | £450,000 (+15%) | £545,000 (+21%) | £655,000 (+20%) |
| Semi-detached | £286,500 | £320,000 (+12%) | £350,000 (+9%) | £420,000 (+20%) | £536,500 (+28%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

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.
