Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on DT10: steady sales, so price from the evidence
DT10 sees about 17 sales a month, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are thinking of selling, most DT10 sales sit between £202,250 and £675,000, which makes £325,000 a blunt instrument, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, on price, DT10 is above the UK average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
Before an offer goes in on any DT10 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (52 applications on record within 500 m), long-term flood risk and council tax (Band D is £2,765 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free DT10 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Dorset (DT10) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £460,000 against £128,000 for flats: about 3.6 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £202,250 and £675,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- Nearly all of these sales (94%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
- This is an active district: about 17 recorded sales a month.

These are Dorset's charges for 2026-27, the authority DT10 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled DT10 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 8, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
DT10 1PS, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 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 DT10 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in DT10: 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.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in DT10, band by band
Dorset's council tax for 2026-27 set against the DT10 median sold price of £325,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearDorset | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £325,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,843 | £154 | 0.57% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £2,151 | £179 | 0.66% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,458 | £205 | 0.76% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,765 | £230 | 0.85% |

| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,994 | £333 | 1.23% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,530 | £461 | 1.70% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the DT10 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.
