In cash terms the typical WD5 home went from £76,000 in 1995 to £461,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 179%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 23% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the WD5 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 2014 (+18.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−9.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £855,000 against £245,000 for a flat, 3.5 times the price.

Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
How many homes change hands in WD5
How many homes change hands
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
WD5 recorded 107 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 282 sales a year before the financial crisis and 119 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.
The rental side of WD5
The local authority for WD5 is Three Rivers, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,809 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,263 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,756 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Three Rivers
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £461,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,809 a month (£21,708 a year) works out at a 4.7% 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.
Reading the WD5 market
This is a thin market: 107 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: WD prices by size
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.

| Detached | — | £570,000 | £809,500 (+42%) | £1,120,000 (+38%) | £1,514,000 (+35%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
