| 1996 | £109,500 | £230,931 | 234 |
| 1995 | £112,000 | £243,471 | 184 |
In cash terms the typical HP4 3 home went from £112,000 in 1995 to £810,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 233%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2018. The market now sits about 9% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HP4 3 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 (+23.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.8%). 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) | +17.0% | +14.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.9% | −0.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.6% | +1.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
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 54 HP4 3 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 249 sales a year before the financial crisis and 139 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 3
The local authority for HP4 3 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 £810,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.3%. 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 HP4 3 is
This is a thin market: 54 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. Against the HP4 district median, HP4 3 sits 13% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
