Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on BH19: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
Roughly 17 homes a month change hands in BH19, so there is a fair body of evidence, but not enough of it for a trustworthy twelve-month trend.
When selling here, £367,750 is only the middle of a market that runs from £195,000 to £750,000, so lean on the nearest like-for-like sale rather than the middle figure; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseFor buyers, typical prices in BH19 sit well above the UK average, so compare any asking price with sold homes of the same type before you commit.
Worth checking before you commit: planning history nearby (738 applications on record within 500 m), whether it is freehold or leasehold and long-term flood risk; your conveyancer should look at the title too.
Averages only go so far, so the free BH19 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the Dorset (BH19) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £575,000 against £250,000 for flats: about 2.3 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £195,000 and £750,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- 31% of these sales were leasehold: a genuine mix of houses and flats, so check the tenure of the home you are looking at.
- This is an active district: about 17 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled BH19 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 7, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
BH19 1ES, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so BH19 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in BH19: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

What it costs to run a home in BH19, band by band
Dorset's council tax for 2026-27 set against the BH19 median sold price of £367,750 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the BH19 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
