In cash terms the typical WD19 6 home went from £57,800 in 1995 to £455,000 in 2026, roughly 8 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 262%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 7% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WD19 6 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 2015 (+21.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−14.6%). 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) | +6.4% | +3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.7% | +1.9% |
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.
How many homes change hands in WD19 6
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 25 sales completed in WD19 6. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 144 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 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.
Reading the WD19 6 market
This is a thin market: 25 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 tenants pay around WD19 6
WD19 6 falls under Three Rivers, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,809 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,263 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,756, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Three Rivers
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,809 a month is £21,708 a year, which against the £455,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.8%. 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.

On the market in WD19 today
Turning to what is actually available: 25 homes on the market right now, from 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole WD19 district, not just WD19 6: live asking prices are collected per district.
28% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Moving up a bedroom in WD: the cost
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WD area, 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £570,000 | £809,500 (+42%) | £1,120,000 (+38%) | £1,514,000 (+35%) |
| Semi-detached | £412,500 | £497,250 (+21%) | £585,000 (+18%) | £760,000 (+30%) | £975,000 (+28%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
