In cash terms the typical HP27 home went from £105,000 in 1995 to £515,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 126%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 19% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HP27 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 2010 (+18.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.3%). 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, 42% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £700,000 against £225,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

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 HP27
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 175 HP27 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 250 sales a year before the financial crisis and 191 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.
Rents around HP27
For renting purposes HP27 sits in Buckinghamshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,477 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,036 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,364, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Buckinghamshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £515,000 median sold price, £1,477 a month is £17,724 a year, a gross yield of 3.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

The price of an extra bedroom in HP
What homes of each size actually sold for across the HP area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £470,500 | £632,250 (+34%) | £930,000 (+47%) | £1,395,000 (+50%) |
