What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Cranesmoor Close, Wareham 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 | 44 | 74.6% | £142,500 | £114,950 – £272,000 |
| Semi-detached | 15 | 25.4% | £135,950 | £129,950 – £257,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Cranesmoor Close, Wareham
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 59 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 | 59 | 100.0% | £142,500 |
| New build | 15 | 25.4% | £119,450 |
| Existing home | 44 | 74.6% | £163,750 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -27.1%. 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.

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 £142,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 8.81% 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 BH20, 1 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 0 violent, 0 burglary, 0 vehicle-related and 1 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 100.0 times quieter.
Against the 379,579 residents the 2021 census counted in Dorset, that is 0.00 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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Cranesmoor Close, Wareham
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.
10 state and independent schools have a BH20 postcode: 9 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

When were Cranesmoor Close, Wareham house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £174,500, 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.
