Summary of Lilliput
Detached houses behind hedges, gravel drives, cars that skew German and recent — Lilliput reads as money that's settled rather than money that's showing off. This is Poole harbour-adjacent affluence: the kind of place where a For Sale board on a Freehold detached home isn't an aspiration, it's just the local default. Ten out of ten on both the income and deprivation deciles tells you this sits among the least deprived pockets anywhere in the country, and the streets confirm it before the statistics do.
The numbers behind that impression are stark. A median property price of £740,000 against a national figure of £281,000 puts Lilliput at the 95th percentile for the whole country, and it's running well above even its own well-off unitary authority, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, at over double the price uplift you'd expect. Detached homes here sell for £780,000 against a national detached median of £420,000 — this is not a market that shadows the country, it's in a different bracket entirely. Freehold ownership dominates, flats make up a real minority, and there's no new-build in the sample: this is established housing stock, bought rather than built. Lilliput Church of England Infant School carries a Good rating, and with a median age pushing 56, the age profile here skews toward people who've already raised their families or never needed to commute in a hurry — this reads less like a young rail-commuter belt and more like a settled, later-life harbour suburb.
