Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on HP3: steady sales, so price from the evidence
250 sales since November 2025 make HP3 a steady market, and with no dependable year-on-year figure to hand, recent sold homes are a safer guide than any headline.
If you are selling, most HP3 sales sit between £241,800 and £775,500, which makes £435,000 a blunt instrument, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; roughly 29 sales a month is enough for buyers to compare, so evidence beats optimism.
Sell houseIf you are buying, HP3 sits well above the UK average for typical prices, so a price above the norm for the area should be earned by the home itself, not assumed.
Our checklist before an offer: what has been applied for nearby (912 applications on record within 500 m), the tenure (leasehold is common here) and whether the home is at risk of flooding, plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free HP3 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Dacorum (HP3) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £762,500 against £272,500 for flats: about 2.8 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £241,800 and £775,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- 30% of these sales were leasehold: a genuine mix of houses and flats, so check the tenure of the home you are looking at.
- This is an active district: about 29 recorded sales a month.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled HP3 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 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.
HP3 9GL, 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 HP3 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in HP3: 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 HP3, band by band
Dacorum's council tax for 2026-27 set against the HP3 median sold price of £435,000 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÷ £435,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,606 | £134 | 0.37% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,873 | £156 | 0.43% |
| C | £52,001–£68,000 | £2,141 | £178 | 0.49% |

| H | over £320,000 | £4,817 | £401 | 1.11% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the HP3 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.
