In cash terms the typical HP4 1 home went from £95,000 in 1995 to £660,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 220%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HP4 1 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 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−12.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HP4 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +5.6% | +3.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.4% | −2.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
Sales activity in HP4 1
How many homes change hands
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, 29 sales completed in HP4 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 140 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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.
What tenants pay around HP4 1
For renting purposes HP4 1 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.
Set against the £660,000 median sold price, £1,579 a month is £18,948 a year, a gross yield of 2.9%: 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.
Reading the HP4 1 market
This is a thin market: 29 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. Within HP4, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

Moving up a bedroom in HP: the cost
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.

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

Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
