In cash terms the typical DT10 2 home went from £67,800 in 1995 to £465,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 215%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper.
Year-on-year change in the DT10 2 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 2001 (+41.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.3%). 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) | +36.4% | +33.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.5% | +0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.9% | +1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
DT10 2 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 128 sales a year before the financial crisis and 77 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 shape of the DT10 2 market
Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes DT10 2 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 DT10 district median, DT10 2 sits 41% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of DT10 2
DT10 2 falls under Dorset, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £465,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.7%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: DT prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the DT area, from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £350,000 | £455,000 (+30%) | £670,000 (+47%) | £870,000 (+30%) |
| Semi-detached | £236,000 | £285,000 (+21%) | £345,000 (+21%) | £457,000 (+32%) | £586,750 (+28%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
