Why this vibrant corner of Bournemouth is a hotspot for savvy homeowners and movers
Charminster and Winton are two of Bournemouth’s most diverse and well-connected neighbourhoods. With their blend of Edwardian and 20th-century homes, lively high streets, strong rental demand, and excellent schools, it's no surprise that more buyers and homeowners are choosing this area.
But what many don’t realise is how much they could save — or gain — by reviewing their mortgage strategy in this part of town.
What makes Charminster and Winton so popular?
Affordable yet appreciating homes: Property prices here remain more accessible than some of Bournemouth’s suburbs, yet they’ve seen steady growth in recent years.
Community and connectivity: Excellent bus routes, walkable amenities, and a multicultural community make it ideal for families, professionals, and first-time buyers.
Strong rental yields: For homeowners considering letting in future or buying a second property, rental demand in the area is consistently high.
Residential mortgage support — with a local focus
Whether you’re buying your first home or moving within the area, Bournemouth Mortgages offers:
Access to deals from a wide panel of lenders, including ones that aren’t available on the high street
Insight into how local property types and values affect borrowing
Help navigating mortgage eligibility based on your current income, credit history, or employment type
Remortgaging — when is the right time?
Many homeowners in Charminster and Winton are sitting on more equity than they realise.
Remortgaging now could help you:
Secure a better rate as your fixed term ends
Release funds for home improvements or life changes
Switch to a more flexible deal to suit new circumstances (e.g. going self-employed, retiring)
According to the Office for National Statistics, UK house prices have risen by 1.1% in the past year alone — and pockets of Bournemouth have outpaced that. With property values in BH8 and BH9 reflecting continued buyer demand, remortgaging could give you more options.
