How St Johns Road, Hemel Hempstead prices moved
The chart tracks the median St Johns Road, Hemel Hempstead house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2024. 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 | 4 | £97,500 | £216,496 |
| 2000s | 5 | £172,000 | £313,333 |
| 2010s | 3 | £360,000 | £507,600 |
| 2020s | 4 | £450,000 | £459,783 |
The highest yearly median on record for St Johns Road, Hemel Hempstead is £460,000 in 2022; the lowest is £72,750 in 1995. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £72,750 to £450,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £161,539, so the real change over the whole record is +193.1% — about +3.78% 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: +25.0% in cash against -11.9% 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.

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 St Johns Road, Hemel Hempstead 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. St Johns Road, Hemel Hempstead 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 | 68 | 41.5% | £249,995 | £71,000 – £642,500 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in St Johns Road, Hemel Hempstead
26 of the sales on record are leasehold and 138 freehold — 15.9% 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 £151,250 and the median freehold sale £246,975 — a gap of +63.3%. 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 | 15.9% | £151,250 |
| Freehold | 138 | 84.1% | £246,975 |
A further 11 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 St Johns Road, Hemel Hempstead
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Dacorum, 49.9% of 77,681 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 2.8% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 256 | 0.3% |
| B | 8,166 | 10.5% |
| C | 30,377 | 39.1% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Dacorum at £1,579 a month as of Jun 2026 — £1,087 for a one-bedroom home and £1,639 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £210,500 here, that rent is a gross yield of 9.00% 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 HP1, 389 crimes were recorded in Jun 2026: 120 violent, 9 burglary, 15 vehicle-related and 133 anti-social behaviour. The median postcode district in this archive recorded 167 in the same month, so this one is 2.3 times busier.
Against the 155,081 residents the 2021 census counted in Dacorum, that is 2.51 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.

The 2021 census counted 155,081 residents in Dacorum across 63,412 households. 64.5% of those households own their home and 35.3% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

St Johns Road, Hemel Hempstead sits in Dacorum, in the East of England.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Dacorum at 11.9 times median local earnings of £37,773 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6.

£2,624 per square metre, from the 27 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.
