Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on TA20: steady sales, so price from the evidence
250 sales since September 2025 make TA20 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, with detached homes at £397,500 and flats at £112,500, the £131,800 to £500,000 spread is really several markets, 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 houseIf you are looking to buy, on price, TA20 is close to the UK average, so hold any asking price up against the sold homes of the same type.
Before an offer goes in on any TA20 home, look at what has been applied for nearby (1,034 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,765 a year), and leave the title to your conveyancer.
Averages only go so far, so the free TA20 OfferCheck sets flood, crime, planning and council tax beside the sold prices.

In plain English
What the Dorset (TA20) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £397,500 against £112,500 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 £131,800 and £500,000, 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 23 recorded sales a month.

Across the 12 sampled TA20 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 7, with a median of decile 5 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
TA20 3NH, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 5 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

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 TA20 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in TA20: 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 TA20, band by band
Dorset's council tax for 2026-27 set against the TA20 median sold price of £260,000 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 TA20 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.
