How St James, Beaminster prices moved
The chart tracks the median St James, Beaminster house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £42,250 | £93,815 |
| 2000s | 6 | £91,225 | £166,185 |
| 2010s | 3 | £127,500 | £179,775 |
| 2020s | 2 | £210,000 | £214,565 |
The highest yearly median on record for St James, Beaminster is £211,000 in 2023; the lowest is £36,625 in 1997. Across the full 31-year record the cash median has moved from £42,250 to £210,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £93,815, so the real change over the whole record is +128.7% — about +2.80% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +68.0% in cash against +21.7% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to St James, Beaminster values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. St James, Beaminster is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 114 | 80.3% | £124,500 | £29,000 – £380,000 |
| Terraced | 16 | 11.3% | £79,000 | £34,750 – £270,000 |
| Detached | 12 | 8.5% | £151,950 | £55,000 – £249,400 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in St James, Beaminster
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 142 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 142 | 100.0% | £121,000 |
| New build | 1 | 0.7% | £163,000 |
| Existing home | 141 | 99.3% | £120,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +35.8%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 1 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 09
How St James, Beaminster compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. St James, Beaminster sits below that national figure — -23.2%.
Within Beaminster the street ranks 100 of 108 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £215,000 (-43.7%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,260 per square metre, across 59 of the 142 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £29,000 to £380,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in St James, Beaminster?
The median price paid in St James, Beaminster across every sale on the register is £121,000. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in St James, Beaminster?
142 sales are on record for St James, Beaminster, the most recent completing on 30 Apr 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have St James, Beaminster house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +68.0% between 2015 and 2025. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is +21.7%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were St James, Beaminster house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £211,000, set in 2023. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in St James, Beaminster?
£2,260 per square metre, from the 59 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 30 Apr 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
