In cash terms the typical EN6 1 home went from £85,000 in 1995 to £645,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 249%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EN6 1 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 2001 (+47.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2022 (−21.7%). 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) | −1.1% | −3.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
EN6 1 recorded 32 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 141 sales a year before the financial crisis and 74 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.
How EN6 1 trades
Only 32 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EN6 1 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. Against the EN6 district median, EN6 1 sits 10% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around EN6 1
EN6 1 falls under Hertsmere, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,802 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,238 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,761, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Hertsmere
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £645,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,802 a month (£21,624 a year) works out at a 3.4% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

EN6's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 100 homes at the moment, listed by 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole EN6 district, not just EN6 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
10% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Mandeville Court, Darkes Lane, Potters Bar, Potters Bar
- King George's Vale, Coronation Avenue, Cuffley, Hertfordshire
- Cranfield Crescent, Cuffley, Potters Bar
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in EN
What homes of each size actually sold for across the EN area, from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £525,000 | £690,000 (+31%) | £975,000 (+41%) | £1,359,000 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £402,625 | £470,000 (+17%) | £555,000 (+18%) | £720,000 (+30%) | £971,000 (+35%) |

| Flat | £250,000 | £335,000 (+34%) | £469,000 (+40%) | — | — |
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.
