Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on DT5: steady sales, so price from the evidence
Roughly 19 homes a month change hands in DT5, a pace that gives buyers and sellers something to compare, without a year-on-year figure we would stand behind.
If you are thinking of selling, DT5 buyers have mostly paid between £134,092 and £335,500, so find the sold homes closest to yours and price against those; 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, DT5 is below the UK average, so a lower price than the average is a prompt to ask why, not a reason to relax.
Before an offer goes in on any DT5 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (282 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,765 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Next step: the free DT5 OfferCheck, which sets flood, crime, planning, council tax and schools next to these prices, with every source named.

These are Dorset's charges for 2026-27, the authority DT5 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.

Area profile for DT5
Decile 4 of 10
Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled DT5 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 1 to decile 6, with a median of decile 4 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
DT5 2AA, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 4 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 DT5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in DT5: 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 DT5, band by band
Dorset's council tax for 2026-27 set against the DT5 median sold price of £230,750 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÷ £230,750 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,843 | £154 | 0.80% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £2,151 | £179 | 0.93% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,458 | £205 | 1.07% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,765 | £230 | 1.20% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £3,379 | £282 | 1.46% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,994 | £333 | 1.73% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £4,608 | £384 | 2.00% |
| H | over £320,000 | £5,530 | £461 | 2.40% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the DT5 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.
