In cash terms the typical HP5 2 home went from £85,000 in 1995 to £445,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 141%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 26% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HP5 2 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 2002 (+39.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−9.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.4% | −1.0% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in HP5 2
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.
The register shows 31 HP5 2 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 190 sales a year before the financial crisis and 111 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 homes rent for around HP5 2
For renting purposes HP5 2 sits in Buckinghamshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,477 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,036 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,364 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Buckinghamshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £445,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,477 a month (£17,724 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.
What kind of market HP5 2 is
Only 31 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HP5 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the HP5 district median, HP5 2 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

Bedroom by bedroom: HP prices by size
Real sold prices by size across the HP area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
