How Forest Oak Drive, New Milton prices moved
The chart tracks the median Forest Oak Drive, New Milton house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1998 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 | 2 | £137,750 | £305,870 |
| 2000s | 4 | £186,750 | £340,203 |
| 2010s | 2 | £340,000 | £479,400 |
| 2020s | 1 | £505,000 | £515,978 |
The highest yearly median on record for Forest Oak Drive, New Milton is £505,000 in 2025; the lowest is £137,750 in 1998. Across the full 28-year record the cash median has moved from £137,750 to £505,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £285,629, so the real change over the whole record is +80.6% — about +2.21% 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: +46.4% in cash against +6.1% 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.

What sells here

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Forest Oak Drive, New Milton
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 118 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 | 118 | 100.0% | £177,750 |
| New build | 44 | 37.3% | £145,000 |
| Existing home | 74 | 62.7% | £289,500 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -49.9%. 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.

Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of BH25, 116 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 49 violent, 0 burglary, 3 vehicle-related and 14 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.4 times quieter.
Against the 175,785 residents the 2021 census counted in New Forest, that is 0.66 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.
