| 1995 | £123,500 | £268,470 | 169 |
In cash terms the typical HP16 home went from £123,500 in 1995 to £587,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 119%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 28% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HP16 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 (+27.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−14.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £875,000 against £303,800 for a flat, 2.9 times the price.

Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.4% | −8.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.1% | −4.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.7% | −2.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 128 sales completed in HP16. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 226 sales a year before the financial crisis and 136 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the HP16 market
This is a thin market: 128 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Among the 24 measurable districts of its area, HP16 ranks 6 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
The rental side of HP16
HP16 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 £587,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,477 a month (£17,724 a year) works out at a 3.0% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in HP
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HP area. 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 | — | £470,500 | £632,250 (+34%) | £930,000 (+47%) | £1,395,000 (+50%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
