In cash terms the typical EN11 8 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £334,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 156%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 32% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EN11 8 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+30.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−14.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −13.2% | −15.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.7% | −3.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in EN11 8
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
EN11 8 recorded 56 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 197 sales a year before the financial crisis and 124 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
What homes rent for around EN11 8
The local authority for EN11 8 is Broxbourne, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,665 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,118 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,470 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Broxbourne
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,665 a month is £19,980 a year, which against the £334,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 6.0%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
The shape of the EN11 8 market
Only 56 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EN11 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within EN11, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in EN: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the EN area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £525,000 | £690,000 (+31%) | £975,000 (+41%) | £1,359,000 (+39%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
