How Applecroft, Henlow prices moved
The chart tracks the median Applecroft, Henlow house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1997 to 2021. 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 | 2 | £106,998 | £237,585 |
| 2000s | 1 | £216,000 | £393,488 |
| 2020s | 1 | £452,000 | £461,826 |
The highest yearly median on record for Applecroft, Henlow is £452,000 in 2021; the lowest is £106,998 in 1997. Across the full 25-year record the cash median has moved from £106,998 to £452,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £226,867, so the real change over the whole record is +151.7% — about +3.92% 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: +109.3% in cash against +42.5% 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.

Section 04
What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Applecroft, Henlow 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 | 54 | 83.1% | £224,000 | £79,950 – £540,000 |
| Semi-detached | 11 | 16.9% | £204,000 | £110,000 – £435,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Applecroft, Henlow
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 65 freehold — 0.0% 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.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 65 | 100.0% | £220,000 |
| New build | 1 | 1.5% | £384,000 |
| Existing home | 64 | 98.5% | £220,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +74.5%. 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.
Section 09
How Applecroft, Henlow compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Applecroft, Henlow sits above that national figure — +39.7%.
Within Henlow the street ranks 80 of 109 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £249,995 (-12.0%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £79,950 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.

Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Applecroft, Henlow?

How many homes have sold in Applecroft, Henlow?
65 sales are on record for Applecroft, Henlow, the most recent completing on 6 Mar 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Applecroft, Henlow house prices at their highest?

No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published for this area. Nothing is estimated to fill the gap.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 6 Mar 2026. 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.
