In cash terms the typical WD7 9 home went from £125,000 in 1995 to £588,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 116%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 29% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the WD7 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 1998 (+30.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−16.4%). 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) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.8% | −6.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.5% | −1.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
Sales activity in WD7 9
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
Over the last twelve months of data, 21 sales completed in WD7 9. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 107 sales a year before the financial crisis and 55 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.
What kind of market WD7 9 is
This is a thin market: 21 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. 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. Against the WD7 district median, WD7 9 sits 12% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.
Rents around WD7 9
The local authority for WD7 9 is Hertsmere, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,802 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,238 a month here against £2,761 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Hertsmere
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £588,000 median sold price, £1,802 a month is £21,624 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: WD prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the WD area. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

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.
