How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Picking Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector EN11 8 | – | £408,750 | £380,000 | Not enough sales | £229,950 |
| Broxbourne | £485,000 | £460,000 +5% since | £387,750 +25% since | £250,000 +94% since | £239,995 +102% since |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in EN11 8, over the last five years (752 sales):
- What sells: 41% flats, 22% terraced, 20% semi-detached, 13% detached, 3% other.
- 42% sold leasehold, and 17% were new builds.
- 115 sales in the last twelve months, against 183 in the same twelve months five years ago.
