In cash terms the typical EN7 5 home went from £100,000 in 1995 to £553,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 155%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EN7 5 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 2002 (+27.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−11.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.0% | −4.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.1% | +1.3% |
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
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 36 EN7 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 117 sales a year recently, against 138 a year before 2008. 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.
What kind of market EN7 5 is
Only 36 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EN7 5 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within EN7, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
The rental side of EN7 5
The local authority for EN7 5 is Broxbourne, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,665 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,118 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,470, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
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 £553,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.6%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: EN prices by size
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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
