Our take · opinion, not advice

Our take on DT9: steady sales, so price from the evidence

250 sales since October 2025 make DT9 a steady market, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.

If you are thinking of selling, a spread from £185,000 to £650,000 makes £315,000 a poor guide to any one home, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.

Sell house

If you are looking to buy, typical prices in DT9 sit above the UK average, so a premium over the average needs a reason you can see in the sold homes of the same type.

On any DT9 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (520 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,765 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.

Where the numbers are this loose, the free DT9 OfferCheck gives you something firmer to hold: flood, crime, planning and council tax, each with its source.

In plain English

What the Dorset (DT9) numbers mean

  • The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £504,500 against £146,000 for flats: about 3.5 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
  • Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £185,000 and £650,000, so the median says little about any one home.
  • Nearly all of these sales (92%) were freehold, which points to mostly houses.
  • This is an active district: about 25 recorded sales a month.

That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the DT9 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.

Questions, answered

The DT9 report: your questions

What is the average house price in DT9?
The typical (median) sold price in DT9 is £315,000, from 250 recorded sales between 14 October 2025 and 19 August 2026. Most sales fell between £185,000 and £650,000. That is above the UK average (£272,611) (UK House Price Index averages). A median is the middle sale, so a few very expensive homes do not pull it up the way they pull up an average.
What does each type of home cost in DT9?
Typical sold prices by type in DT9: terraced homes £260,000 (82 sales), detached homes £504,500 (78 sales), semi-detached homes £295,000 (65 sales), flats £146,000 (18 sales). Use the figure for your type of home rather than the all-homes median.
How much is council tax in DT9?
DT9 is billed by Dorset, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,765 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band. Look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near DT9?
The Department for Education's register lists 7 open schools within 3 km of the DT9 district centre, the nearest being Sherborne School. These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid. They are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
How up to date are the DT9 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 28 August 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Is DT9 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 DT9 postcodes we sampled (the ones with the most recent recorded sales, not a random sample) run from decile 5 to decile 8, with a median of decile 8 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like DT9 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near DT9?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 520 applications within 500 m of the DT9 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in DT9 sold for?
Yes. This page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 241 distinct addresses in the records we hold for DT9, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
Does DT9 cover my exact street?
DT9 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges, not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
