| 1996 | £67,500 | £142,354 | 467 |
| 1995 | £68,800 | £149,561 | 267 |
In cash terms the typical EN11 home went from £68,800 in 1995 to £395,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 164%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EN11 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 (+23.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−6.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 33% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £620,000 against £250,000 for a flat, 2.5 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | −6.0% | −8.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.3% | −3.4% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.6% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.6% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
EN11 recorded 246 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 544 sales a year before the financial crisis and 289 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 kind of market EN11 is
Among the 11 measurable districts of its area, EN11 ranks 10 by median price: towards the affordable end.
Rents around EN11
The local authority for EN11 is Broxbourne, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,665 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,118 a month here against £2,470 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £395,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. 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.

Where do EN11 prices go next?

Listed against sold: the EN11 mix
Sellers of semi-detached homes in EN11 have company: 43% of current listings against 30% of recent sales. When a type is offered faster than it sells, the buyer usually holds the better hand.
| Type | Share of homes for sale now | Share of sales, 2024 and 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Detached | 0% | 12% |
| Semi-detached | 43% | 30% |
| Terraced | 19% | 32% |
| Flats | 38% | 26% |
Listings are the homes agents publish to HomesIndex today; sales are HM Land Registry registrations. A listing whose type does not say detached, semi-detached, terraced or flat (a plain "house", a bungalow, a park home) is left out of the listing shares (3 here).
Month by month: when EN11 sells
March is when EN11 changes hands most (11.6% of the 1,741 sales dated 2021 to 2025); April is the quiet end at 6.0%. That is a marked seasonal rhythm. A sale completes weeks after it is agreed, so the busy month reflects deals struck earlier in the year; a seller who wants competition should be on the market ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 125 | 7.2% |
| February | 135 | 7.8% |
| March | 202 | 11.6% |
| April | 104 | 6.0% |
| May | 130 | 7.5% |

Bedroom by bedroom: EN prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the EN area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £492,497 | £557,500 (+13%) | £635,000 (+14%) | £770,000 (+21%) | £1,050,000 (+36%) |
| Semi-detached | £390,000 | £450,000 (+15%) | £525,000 (+17%) | £635,000 (+21%) | £735,000 (+16%) |
| Terraced | £324,000 | £390,000 (+20%) | £445,000 (+14%) | £540,000 (+21%) | £640,000 (+19%) |
| Flat | £227,500 | £300,000 (+32%) | £400,000 (+33%) | £465,000 (+16%) | £690,000 (+48%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
