Are new homes being built in Weymouth?
36 of the 1,460 postcodes now in use in Weymouth came into use in January 2020 or later, ONS says. In the 12 months to August 2025, 30 of the 1,006 homes sold in Weymouth were newly built (3%), HM Land Registry's records show; across the DT4 district, 7%.
The newest postcodes
A new postcode is often a new street or estate, but Royal Mail also makes new postcodes when it reorganises old ones, so not every one means new homes. Only postcodes still in use are counted.
New homes among the homes sold
| Period | In Weymouth | Across the DT4 district |
|---|---|---|
| The 12 months to August 2026 | 7 of 809 (Under 1%) | 8 of 527 (2%) |
| The 12 months to August 2025 | 30 of 1,006 (3%) | 48 of 711 (7%) |
Standard sales of homes at market value that HM Land Registry marks as newly built. New homes take longer to be registered than other sales, so the latest 12 months count fewer of them than were sold. A share is given from 5 sales or more.

Is Weymouth at risk of flooding?
231 of the 1,460 postcodes in Weymouth have a home or business in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, the Environment Agency says. At those, it puts 964 homes and businesses in an area at high or medium risk.

Homes and businesses in an area at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, as the Environment Agency counts them, added up over the postcodes. It is for the land, not each building, and leaves out surface water, groundwater and sewers. Each postcode page has its own figures and its flood warning areas.
