| 1996 | £147,500 | £311,071 | 140 |
| 1995 | £161,200 | £350,424 | 109 |
In cash terms the typical HP6 5 home went from £161,200 in 1995 to £718,800 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 105%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2017. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HP6 5 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 2021 (+51.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2020 (−28.9%). 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) | −8.4% | −10.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.5% | +0.7% |
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
How many homes change hands
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 12 sales completed in HP6 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 119 sales a year before the financial crisis and 65 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 HP6 5
For renting purposes HP6 5 sits in Buckinghamshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,477 a month (May 2026). 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.
Against the £718,800 median purchase price, a rent of £1,477 a month (£17,724 a year) works out at a 2.5% 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.
Reading the HP6 5 market
This is a thin market: 12 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. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.

Bedroom by bedroom: HP prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HP area. 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.
| 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.
