In cash terms the typical HP5 home went from £76,000 in 1995 to £483,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 193%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. 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 HP5 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 2003 (+18.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−6.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £892,500 against £230,000 for a flat, 3.9 times the price.

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
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 249 sales completed in HP5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 525 sales a year before the financial crisis and 285 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.
Rents around HP5
For renting purposes HP5 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.
£1,477 a month is £17,724 a year, which against the £483,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.7%. 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 another bedroom costs in HP
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.

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
