Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on HP5: steady sales, so price from the evidence
Roughly 23 homes a month change hands in HP5, 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, with detached homes at £850,000 and flats at £230,000, the £219,000 to £876,000 spread is really several markets, so price from sold homes that match yours in type and size; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Sell houseIf you are looking to buy, typical prices in HP5 sit well above the UK average, 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 (1,125 applications on record within 500 m), whether the home is at risk of flooding and council tax (Band D is £2,527 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
For what the averages cannot tell you, the free HP5 OfferCheck brings flood, crime, planning and council tax together.

In plain English
What the Buckinghamshire (HP5) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £850,000 against £230,000 for flats: about 3.7 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £219,000 and £876,000, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is an active district: about 23 recorded sales a month.

These are Buckinghamshire's charges for 2026-27, the authority HP5 falls in, not an estimate for any individual home. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and we never guess it; look up a band on GOV.UK and read your row. Bands reflect what a home was worth on 1 April 1991, not today.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled HP5 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 3 to decile 10, with a median of decile 6 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
HP5 1SN, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 6 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 HP5 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in HP5: 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 HP5, band by band
Buckinghamshire's council tax for 2026-27 set against the HP5 median sold price of £475,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.
| Band | 1991 valueVOA basis | A yearBuckinghamshire | A month÷ 12 | Of the median÷ £475,000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | up to £40,000 | £1,684 | £140 | 0.35% |
| B | £40,001–£52,000 | £1,965 | £164 | 0.41% |

| H | over £320,000 | £5,053 | £421 | 1.06% |
The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the HP5 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.
