Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on HP1: steady sales, so price from the evidence
250 sales since October 2025 make HP1 a steady market, which is enough to price from, though not enough history for us to call a clear twelve-month direction.
If you are thinking of selling, the £236,800 to £665,500 range is where most HP1 sales landed, so compare like with like on type, size and condition; buyers can compare homes at this pace but are not spoilt for choice.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, on price, HP1 is well above the UK average, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
On any HP1 home we would check what has been applied for nearby (759 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,409 a year), and ask a conveyancer to read the title.
To see this next to flood, crime, planning and council tax, run the free HP1 OfferCheck; the Report explains what matters for your home.

Median across 12 sampled postcodes; 1 is the most deprived 10% of England, 10 the least.
Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled HP1 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 4 to decile 10, with a median of decile 7 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
HP1 2AZ, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 7 of 10, where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.
Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so HP1 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in HP1: the ones with the most recent recorded sales, up to a limit of 12. That is a convenience sample, not a random one, so it leans toward streets where homes are changing hands. 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home. How we choose the sample.

Cost to run
Two sources, one table
What it costs to run a home in HP1, band by band
Dacorum's council tax for 2026-27 set against the HP1 median sold price of £410,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearDacorum | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £410,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,606 | £134 | 0.39% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,873 | £156 | 0.46% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,141 | £178 | 0.52% |
| D | £68,001–£88,000 | £2,409 | £201 | 0.59% |
| E | £88,001–£120,000 | £2,944 | £245 | 0.72% |
| F | £120,001–£160,000 | £3,479 | £290 | 0.85% |
| G | £160,001–£320,000 | £4,014 | £335 | 0.98% |
| H | over £320,000 | £4,817 | £401 | 1.17% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the HP1 median sold price. A comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.
