In cash terms the typical HP3 0 home went from £87,200 in 1995 to £500,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 164%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 29% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HP3 0 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 1996 (+21.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−14.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HP3 0 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −14.9% | −16.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.9% | −6.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | 0.0% | −3.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 37 sales completed in HP3 0. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 168 sales a year before the financial crisis and 99 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
How HP3 0 trades
Only 37 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HP3 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the HP3 district median, HP3 0 sits 18% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of HP3 0
The local authority for HP3 0 is Dacorum, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,579 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,087 a month here against £2,270 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £500,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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 much did a house sell for in HP3 0 (Apsley)?
Are property prices falling in HP3 0 (Apsley)?
Is HP3 0 (Apsley) a good place to buy a house?
Are HP3 0 prices heading up or down?

What you could buy in HP3 now
This is what you could actually buy today: 283 homes currently on the market from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole HP3 district, not just HP3 0: live asking prices are collected per district.
18% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
- Chipperfield Road, Hemel Hempstead
- Bennetts End Road, Hemel Hempstead
- King Edward Street, Hemel Hempstead
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.
What another bedroom costs in HP
What homes of each size actually sold for across the HP area, 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%) |

| Flat | £210,000 | £280,000 (+33%) | £474,500 (+69%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
