Areas within and around Dacorum

Local authorities with similar prices

For a local authority the index is a three-month average (June to August 2026), and the annual change compares it with June to August 2025. The average price is the index's standardised average, a mix-adjusted geometric mean, not the mean or median of sales, so it will not match a list of sold prices. HM Land Registry revise the most recent twelve months as more sales are registered, so recent figures are provisional.
