Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Castle Hill, Berkhamsted values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Castle Hill, Berkhamsted is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 40 | 53.3% | £770,000 | £220,000 – £3,925,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 26 | 34.7% | £130,000 | £52,000 – £560,000 |
| Terraced | 6 | 8.0% | £825,000 | £325,000 – £1,980,000 |
| Semi-detached | 3 | 4.0% | £630,000 | £103,000 – £670,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Castle Hill, Berkhamsted
26 of the sales on record are leasehold and 49 freehold — 34.7% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £135,975 and the median freehold sale £770,000 — a gap of +466.3%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 26 | 34.7% | £135,975 |
| Freehold | 49 | 65.3% | £770,000 |
| New build | 2 | 2.7% | £1,365,000 |
| Existing home | 73 | 97.3% | £575,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +137.4%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 3 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Castle Hill, Berkhamsted
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Buckinghamshire, 47.8% of 262,827 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.4% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 1,146 | 0.4% |
| B | 36,297 | 13.8% |
| C | 88,289 | 33.6% |
| D | 90,049 | 34.3% |
| E | 35,486 | 13.5% |
| F | 9,381 | 3.6% |
| G | 2,179 | 0.8% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Buckinghamshire at £1,476 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,035 for a one-bedroom home and £1,603 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £600,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 2.95% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
Police forces publish every recorded street-level crime. Within a mile of the centre of HP4, 97 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 25 violent, 4 burglary, 5 vehicle-related and 31 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 1.7 times quieter.
Against the 553,078 residents the 2021 census counted in Buckinghamshire, that is 0.18 recorded crimes per thousand people in the month. The count covers a mile around the district centre while the population covers the whole council, so read the rate as an order of magnitude rather than a precise figure.
A count is not a rate. A district with shops and a station records more crime than a residential one of the same size, because more people pass through it. Read this next to the median, not on its own.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around Castle Hill, Berkhamsted
The 2021 census counted 553,078 residents in Buckinghamshire across 220,327 households. 71.3% of those households own their home and 28.7% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.
12 state and independent schools have a HP4 postcode: 11 primary, 1 secondary. Catchment areas do not follow postcodes, so treat this as what is nearby rather than what a child would be offered.

How Castle Hill, Berkhamsted compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Castle Hill, Berkhamsted sits above that national figure — +281.0%.
Within Berkhamsted the street ranks 80 of 357 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £320,000 (+87.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,071 per square metre, across 24 of the 75 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £52,000 to £3,925,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
Castle Hill, Berkhamsted sits in Buckinghamshire, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Buckinghamshire at 11.3 times median local earnings of £40,365 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.
