How this area has changed
Typical prices for semi-detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bards Corner | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector HP1 3 | – | £421,000 | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | £235,000 |
| Dacorum | £540,000 | £487,000 +11% since | £415,000 +30% since | £291,000 +86% since | £247,500 +118% 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 HP1 3, over the last five years (532 sales):
- What sells: 58% terraced, 15% detached, 14% flats, 11% semi-detached, 3% other.
- 15% sold leasehold.
- 97 sales in the last twelve months, against 156 in the same twelve months five years ago.
