In cash terms the typical HP5 1 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £482,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 196%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the HP5 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 1999 (+22.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +20.5% | +17.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.9% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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.
HP5 1 recorded 45 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 157 sales a year before the financial crisis and 90 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.
The shape of the HP5 1 market
Only 45 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HP5 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around HP5 1
For renting purposes HP5 1 sits in Buckinghamshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,477 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,036 a month here against £2,364 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Buckinghamshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £482,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,477 a month (£17,724 a year) works out at a 3.7% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

The price of an extra bedroom in HP
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%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
