In cash terms the typical HP2 6 home went from £56,600 in 1995 to £385,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 213%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HP2 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 2003 (+23.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HP2 6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.5% | +3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.8% | −0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.4% |
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.
Sales activity in HP2 6
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 25 sales completed in HP2 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 138 sales a year before the financial crisis and 58 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 HP2 6
The local authority for HP2 6 is Dacorum, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,579 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,087 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,270, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Dacorum
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,579 a month is £18,948 a year, which against the £385,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.9%. 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.
What kind of market HP2 6 is
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HP2 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

What another bedroom costs in HP
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HP area. 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.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
