HP16 9 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HP16 (Great Missenden). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

What buyers actually paid in HP16 9

In the HP16 9 property market, the 2026 median sale price is £587,500, from 22 registered sales; the mean, the "average house price" most sites quote, is £741,200, sitting a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.

What a square metre costs in HP16 9

Measured by floor area, the last five years of HP16 9 sales average about £5,820 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.

England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving HP16 9 106% above the national figure.

In cash terms the typical HP16 9 home went from £145,600 in 1995 to £587,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 86%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 42% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

The strongest year on record here is 2000 (+53.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−19.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.

The long view: annualised growth

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.

Transaction volumes

HP16 9 recorded 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 81 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 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 HP16 9

HP16 9 falls under Buckinghamshire, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,477 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,036 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,364 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.

£1,477 a month is £17,724 a year, which against the £587,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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.

How HP16 9 trades

This is a thin market: 22 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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.

Common questions on HP16 9 (Ballinger)

Are HP16 9 prices heading up or down?

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 20% over five years in cash but down 37% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

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