Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on WD4: a quiet market, so take your time
Only about 13 sales a month sell in WD4, so no single figure here should carry much weight, and the individual sold homes are the better guide.
If you are selling, most WD4 sales sit between £247,900 and £1,021,500, which makes £575,000 a blunt instrument, so benchmark against near-identical homes, not the headline; with so few sales, allow extra time and a local agent’s view; if certainty matters more than price, a quick cash sale usually means accepting about 70–85% of market value (a rough guide, not a quote).
Sell houseIf you are buying, on price, WD4 is 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 (39 applications on record within 500 m), flood risk over the long term and council tax (Band D is £2,409 a year), plus the title, which your conveyancer should review.
The sold prices leave a lot open; the free WD4 OfferCheck closes some of the gap with flood, crime, planning and council tax.

In plain English
What the Dacorum (WD4) numbers mean
- The headline number blends very different homes: detached homes sold for a typical £900,000 against £272,875 for flats: about 3.3 times as much. Use the figure for your type of home, not the mix.
- Prices here are widely spread: most sales fell between £247,900 and £1,021,500, so the median says little about any one home.
- This is a quiet district: only about 13 recorded sales a month.
Only 250 sales sit behind these figures, so they are a rough guide rather than a firm reading.

Read the detail
Across the 12 sampled WD4 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 5 to decile 10, with a median of decile 8 of 10: where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.
WD4 8QA, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 8 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 WD4 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in WD4: 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.

What it costs to run a home in WD4, band by band
Dacorum's council tax for 2026-27 set against the WD4 median sold price of £575,000 across 250 recorded sales: the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the WD4 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.
