In cash terms the typical WD4 9 home went from £160,000 in 1995 to £856,400 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 146%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 24% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WD4 9 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 (+48.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2017 (−25.2%). 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) | −5.9% | −8.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.8% | +1.0% |
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 WD4 9
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, 20 sales completed in WD4 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 66 sales a year before the financial crisis and 45 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 WD4 9
The local authority for WD4 9 is Dacorum, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,579 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,087 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,270 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Dacorum
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £856,400 median sold price, £1,579 a month is £18,948 a year, a gross yield of 2.2%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the WD4 9 market
This is a thin market: 20 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. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the WD4 district median, WD4 9 sits 52% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

The price of an extra bedroom in WD
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%) |

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.
