How Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood prices moved
The chart tracks the median Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2005. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 3 | £74,000 | £164,315 |
| 2000s | 3 | £204,000 | £371,628 |
The highest yearly median on record for Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood is £205,000 in 2005; the lowest is £69,950 in 1996. Across the full 10-year record the cash median has moved from £69,950 to £205,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £151,738, so the real change over the whole record is +146.1% — about +10.52% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +193.1% in cash against +146.1% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 41 | 45.1% | £200,000 | £63,000 – £500,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood
11 of the sales on record are leasehold and 80 freehold — 12.1% 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 £80,000 and the median freehold sale £213,000 — a gap of +166.3%. 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 | 11 | 12.1% | £80,000 |
| Freehold | 80 | 87.9% | £213,000 |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Barnet at £1,939 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,491 for a one-bedroom home and £2,243 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £200,000 here, that rent is a gross yield of 11.63% 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 WD6, 343 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 121 violent, 17 burglary, 8 vehicle-related and 67 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.1 times busier.
Against the 389,344 residents the 2021 census counted in Barnet, that is 0.88 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.

How Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood sits above that national figure — +27.0%.
Within Borehamwood the street ranks 224 of 347 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £232,000 (-13.8%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,206 per square metre, across 29 of the 91 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 £36,000 to £540,000. 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.
Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood sits in Barnet, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Barnet at 14.9 times median local earnings of £38,294 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood?

How many homes have sold in Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood?
91 sales are on record for Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood, the most recent completing on 20 Jan 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £205,000, set in 2005. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Dacre Gardens, Borehamwood?
£3,206 per square metre, from the 29 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 20 Jan 2025. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
