How Fernhill Heights, Bridport prices moved
The chart tracks the median Fernhill Heights, Bridport house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2002 to 2016. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 2 | £64,995 | £118,402 |
| 2010s | 1 | £102,000 | £143,820 |
The highest yearly median on record for Fernhill Heights, Bridport is £142,500 in 2007; the lowest is £64,995 in 2002. Across the full 15-year record the cash median has moved from £64,995 to £102,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £125,367, so the real change over the whole record is +13.6% — about +0.91% 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: +56.9% in cash against +13.6% 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.

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 Fernhill Heights, Bridport values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Fernhill Heights, Bridport 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terraced | 35 | 60.3% | £105,000 | £49,995 – £200,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 21 | 36.2% | £79,950 | £50,000 – £172,500 |

| Semi-detached | 1 | 1.7% | £74,995 | £74,995 – £74,995 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Fernhill Heights, Bridport
58 of the sales on record are leasehold and 0 freehold — 100.0% 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 | 58 | 100.0% | £99,250 |
| Freehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| New build | 8 | 13.8% | £68,995 |
| Existing home | 50 | 86.2% | £105,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -34.3%. 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 5 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.

Living in Fernhill Heights, Bridport
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Dorset, 43.1% of 188,938 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 6.5% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,111 | 0.6% |
| B | 22,229 | 11.8% |
| C | 58,170 | 30.8% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Dorset at £1,046 a month as of Jun 2026 — £724 for a one-bedroom home and £1,178 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £99,250 here, that rent is a gross yield of 12.65% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of DT6, 40 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 12 violent, 1 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 19 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 4.2 times quieter.
Against the 379,579 residents the 2021 census counted in Dorset, that is 0.11 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.

The neighbourhood around Fernhill Heights, Bridport
The 2021 census counted 379,579 residents in Dorset across 169,261 households. 71.4% of those households own their home and 28.6% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Dorset at 9.9 times median local earnings of £35,311 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Fernhill Heights, Bridport?

How many homes have sold in Fernhill Heights, Bridport?
58 sales are on record for Fernhill Heights, Bridport, the most recent completing on 12 Jan 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Fernhill Heights, Bridport house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £142,500, set in 2007. 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 Fernhill Heights, Bridport?
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 12 Jan 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.
