In cash terms the typical WD19 7 home went from £58,500 in 1995 to £405,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 218%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WD19 7 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 2016 (+23.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.1%). 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) | +0.7% | −1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.3% | +1.4% |
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 7
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.
WD19 7 recorded 38 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 83 sales a year recently, against 93 a year before 2008. 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.
How WD19 7 trades
Only 38 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WD19 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within WD19, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around WD19 7
WD19 7 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.
Against the £405,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,809 a month (£21,708 a year) works out at a 5.4% 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.

WD19's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 25 homes at the moment, listed by 8 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole WD19 district, not just WD19 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
28% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
