In cash terms the typical SP8 5 home went from £78,000 in 1995 to £392,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 131%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SP8 5 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 1997 (+31.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−15.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What SP8 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.5% | +3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.2% | −5.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −1.0% |
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
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 15 SP8 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 70 sales a year before the financial crisis and 50 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market SP8 5 is
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SP8 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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 SP8, this sector trades 41% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around SP8 5
For renting purposes SP8 5 sits in Dorset. The ONS average private rent there is £1,041 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £392,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,041 a month (£12,492 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SP: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SP 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 | — | £345,000 | £450,000 (+30%) | £668,750 (+49%) | £982,500 (+47%) |
