In cash terms the typical HP5 3 home went from £75,000 in 1995 to £515,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 216%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs.
Year-on-year change in the HP5 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 2000 (+23.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.5%). 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) | +12.8% | +10.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.4% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
Sales activity in HP5 3
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
HP5 3 recorded 48 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 178 sales a year before the financial crisis and 84 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What tenants pay around HP5 3
The local authority for HP5 3 is Buckinghamshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,477 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,036 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,364, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Buckinghamshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,477 a month is £17,724 a year, which against the £515,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. 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 HP5 3 trades
This is a thin market: 48 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.

What is for sale in HP5 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 49 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole HP5 district, not just HP5 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 22% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
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.

The price of an extra bedroom in HP
Real sold prices by size across the HP area, straight from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
