In cash terms the typical WD24 4 home went from £64,000 in 1995 to £415,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 198%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WD24 4 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 (+20.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−10.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −2.8% | −5.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.2% |
| 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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
WD24 4 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 135 sales a year before the financial crisis and 47 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around WD24 4
WD24 4 falls under Watford, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,814 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £1,256 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,634, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Watford
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £415,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,814 a month (£21,768 a year) works out at a 5.2% 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.
The shape of the WD24 4 market
Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WD24 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

What another bedroom costs in WD
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WD area, 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.

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.
