| 1996 | £73,800 | £155,641 | 218 |
| 1995 | £65,200 | £141,735 | 144 |
In cash terms the typical HP12 4 home went from £65,200 in 1995 to £425,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 200%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 11% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HP12 4 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 (+26.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−9.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.0% | +0.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in HP12 4
Sales per year, counted
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 44 HP12 4 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 222 sales a year before the financial crisis and 104 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.
Rents around HP12 4
HP12 4 falls under Buckinghamshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,477 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,036 a month here against £2,364 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Buckinghamshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £425,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,477 a month (£17,724 a year) works out at a 4.2% 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 kind of market HP12 4 is
Only 44 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HP12 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
HP12 4 (Booker): the questions that come up
Is HP12 4 (Booker) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in HP12 4 (Booker)?
Are property prices falling in HP12 4 (Booker)?
Are HP12 4 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 18% over five years in cash but down 7% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

The price of an extra bedroom in HP
Real sold prices by size across the HP area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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 | — | £470,500 | £632,250 (+34%) | £930,000 (+47%) | £1,395,000 (+50%) |
| Semi-detached | £315,000 | £396,000 (+26%) | £480,000 (+21%) | £636,250 (+33%) | £842,500 (+32%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
