In cash terms the typical EN7 6 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £471,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 189%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the EN7 6 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 1998 (+64.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2001 (−12.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What EN7 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.7% | +1.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.7% | +0.9% |
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
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 register shows 72 EN7 6 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 355 sales a year before the financial crisis and 162 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 rental side of EN7 6
For renting purposes EN7 6 sits in Broxbourne. The ONS average private rent there is £1,665 a month (May 2026). 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 £471,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.2%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in EN: the cost
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.
