In cash terms the typical HP2 7 home went from £57,500 in 1995 to £375,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 200%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HP2 7 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 2002 (+37.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−13.7%). 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) | −2.3% | −4.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.7% | +1.8% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
Sales activity in HP2 7
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 41 HP2 7 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 230 sales a year before the financial crisis and 100 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.
What tenants pay around HP2 7
For renting purposes HP2 7 sits in Dacorum. The ONS average private rent there is £1,579 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,087 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,270 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £375,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.1%. 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 7 is
This is a thin market: 41 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.

HP2's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 183 homes at the moment, listed by 7 agents publishing to HomesIndex.

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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in HP: the cost
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%) |
| Terraced | £296,000 | £370,000 (+25%) | £425,000 (+15%) | £540,000 (+27%) | £780,000 (+44%) |
| Flat | £210,000 | £280,000 (+33%) | £474,500 (+69%) | — | — |
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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
