Seller’s Sense Check: a Weymouth example
Seller’s Sense Check: how your listing compares
A 1-bed ground-floor flat in Weymouth town centre, DT4. 48.5 sq m. Asking £150,000. Share of the freehold, with allocated gated parking. On the market for 96 days.
Here is how your asking price sits against public sold prices and the other 1-bed flats and maisonettes for sale in the DT4 postcode district. Each figure has its count beside it.
All figures come from public sources: HM Land Registry sold prices, the GOV.UK EPC register and homes publicly listed for sale.
Your reality check
£150,000 is above what similar-sized 1-bed flats in DT4 have sold for over the last year, and above what other 1-beds here are typically asking. Homes of 43 to 54 sq m sold for a median of £130,000 (17 sales). Your asking price is 15.4% above that, and 12.5% above per square metre.
- Those sales look back to deals agreed months ago. Sold prices for DT4 flats of all sizes are slightly up, 1.6% over the year.
- Per square metre, your £3,093 is about 7% above other 1-bed flats now for sale that have a published floorplan (£2,900, 19 homes, leaving out a cluster of higher-priced sea-view apartments about 3 km away). Eight of a similar size to yours are asking a median of £127,500, or £2,884 per sq m.
- Your home has allocated gated parking and a share of the freehold, which many of the cheaper 1-beds nearby do not. Public records cannot measure condition or the remaining lease, so the gap does not on its own mean the price is high.
- At 96 days, your home has been listed longer than half of the similar homes that found a buyer this year: the typical DT4 1-bed flat went STC or under offer in 49 days, though a quarter took more than 93 days. Homes that were withdrawn typically came off after about 55 days.
- Land Registry records a sale of this address (16 West Street, DT4 8AG) for £165,000 on 18 May 2022. The current asking price is £15,000 below that sale.
- Other 1-bed flats for sale and those already STC or under offer are both asking a median of £130,000 (51 and 33 homes, after leaving out a retirement listing). In the town-centre sector, DT4 8, the other 1-beds for sale are asking a median of £122,500 (10).
- Sold prices for DT4 flats are 1.6% higher than a year earlier, and Land Registry sales reflect deals agreed months before.
- Competing asking prices are being cut: 11 of the 51 other 1-bed flats for sale reduced their price in the last eight weeks (16 September to 11 November). The typical cut was £5,000 (4.2%). Your home was also reduced in that window, from £155,000 to £150,000 on 19 October, the third cut since it was listed at £170,000 on 7 August.

The closest 1-bed flat still for sale is 81 metres away on St Thomas Street, asking £99,500. It is a first-floor apartment with no parking mentioned, on a 999-year lease with 993 years remaining and a service charge of £800 a year. It has been reduced four times, from £120,000, and has been in our records for 155 days — though it first appeared on 9 June, a day many Weymouth listings first show up, so it may have been on the market longer. Its floorplan has no total, and we could not find a matching EPC at that address, so we cannot compare the two homes per square metre.
The next-nearest 1-bed with a published floor area is also on St Thomas Street, 109 metres away: 47.0 sq m (almost the same size as yours) asking £120,000, or £2,553 per sq m. That is a second-floor flat without parking, on a 250-year lease from 2006, with a ground rent of £100 a year and a service charge of £135 a month. It has been on the market since 18 March and was reduced from £140,000 on 2 June. View listing › At £3,093, your home is about 21% more per square metre; it is on the ground floor, has allocated gated parking, and comes with a share of the freehold.
A closer like-for-like on parking and size is a first-floor 47 sq m flat at Wellington Court, 490 metres away, also asking £150,000 (£3,191 per sq m) with allocated parking. It returned to the market on 17 October after a spell sold STC. View listing ›

Methods, caveats and sources
- Comparables are 1-bed flats and maisonettes in the DT4 postcode district, the same bedroom count and property type as your home. Retirement listings are excluded. Listings are de-duplicated where several agents list the same home (same street, postcode and price).
- Land Registry: flats, standard sales only (transaction category A), postcodes starting DT4. Registration lags completion by 2 to 3 months, so recent months will grow. This reading uses the September 2026 Price Paid Data release, published 28 October 2026 (deeds to 22 September 2026).
- Your home and homes now for sale: floor area is taken from the listing floorplan total where one is published. Conservatories count as floor space; garages do not, and are mentioned separately. Your home has allocated parking in a communal car park, which is not part of the 48.5 sq m. The nearest competitor's floorplan has no total.
- Sold homes of your size (43 to 54 sq m, about 11% either side of 48.5): sizes are from the EPC certificate, after matching each sale to the register by flat number and building or street. We excluded certificates for houses and bungalows, and addresses where the building number conflicted. 17 sales remain. We have not yet checked sale-listing floorplans for these 17, so some EPC sizes may under- or overstate the area. The 17 include a sale at £60,000 and one at £212,000; the median is £130,000 either way. Address matching covered 126 of 168 standard sales in the last 12 months (75%) with a flat or maisonette certificate we could keep.
- A cluster of 1-bed apartments at Ferrymans Way, about 3 km away, are asking £290,000 to £375,000. They are included in the "all 1-bed flats for sale" count and in the similar-homes table, but left out of the typical asking price per square metre (£2,900, 19 homes) because they are a different, sea-view market.
- Time to find a buyer: days from the first for-sale record to the first later sold STC, under offer or sold record, for 1-bed flats in DT4 first seen in 2026. We take one record per home, exclude first-seen dates on which 10 or more DT4 1-bed flats first appear (likely batch loads: 26 Jan, 3 Feb, 9 Jun, 12 Jul and 8 Sep 2026), and exclude withdrawals followed within 60 days by a relisting of the same home. Listing-agent figures use all 2026 first-seen dates except relisted withdrawals, because after the batch-date filter this agent has only 2 exits. Some of our records never carry Under offer.
- Public records do not describe condition, lease length or service charges, except where a listing states them. Sold prices include homes in every state of repair.
- Asking prices are not achieved prices.
- Local Land Charges have not been pulled for this address.
- All figures come from public sources: HM Land Registry (gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/price-paid-data-downloads), the GOV.UK EPC register (find-energy-certificate.service.gov.uk) and homes publicly listed for sale, gathered by BestAgent.
