| 1995 | £84,900 | £184,560 | 148 |
In cash terms the typical EN6 2 home went from £84,900 in 1995 to £530,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 187%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 27% 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 2 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 2000 (+19.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−11.3%). 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) | −11.3% | −13.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.6% | −6.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.1% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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.
Sales activity in EN6 2
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 35 sales completed in EN6 2. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 159 sales a year before the financial crisis and 72 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the EN6 2 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EN6 2 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 2 sits 10% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
The rental side of EN6 2
For renting purposes EN6 2 sits in Hertsmere. The ONS average private rent there is £1,802 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,238 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,761 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Hertsmere
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £530,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,802 a month (£21,624 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.

What another bedroom costs in EN
Real sold prices by size across the EN area, straight 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.
