| 1995 | £112,500 | £244,558 | 175 |
In cash terms the typical WD4 home went from £112,500 in 1995 to £564,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 131%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WD4 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 2010 (+38.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−17.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What WD4 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.1% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.2% | +1.3% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 32% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £893,900 against £265,000 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

How many homes change hands in WD4
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Month by month, five years back
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 110 sales completed in WD4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 251 sales a year before the financial crisis and 158 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 kind of market WD4 is
Only 110 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes WD4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Among the 11 measurable districts of its area, WD4 ranks 3 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.
Rents around WD4
For renting purposes WD4 sits in Dacorum. The ONS average private rent there is £1,579 a month (May 2026). 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.
£1,579 a month is £18,948 a year, which against the £564,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.4%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in WD
What homes of each size actually sold for across the WD area, from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
