How Barkus Way, High Wycombe prices moved
The chart tracks the median Barkus Way, High Wycombe house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2020. 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 | 5 | £58,250 | £129,343 |
| 2000s | 6 | £101,750 | £185,359 |
| 2010s | 4 | £172,500 | £243,225 |
| 2020s | 1 | £192,500 | £196,685 |
The highest yearly median on record for Barkus Way, High Wycombe is £206,500 in 2017; the lowest is £47,500 in 1996. Across the full 26-year record the cash median has moved from £58,250 to £192,500.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £129,343, so the real change over the whole record is +92.7% — about +2.66% 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: +30.1% in cash against -3.1% 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.

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 Barkus Way, High Wycombe 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. Barkus Way, High Wycombe 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flat or maisonette | 84 | 59.6% | £118,000 | £43,000 – £218,000 |
| Semi-detached | 37 | 26.2% | £152,000 | £51,000 – £360,000 |
| Terraced | 16 | 11.3% | £182,500 | £59,950 – £380,000 |
| Detached | 4 | 2.8% | £88,000 | £72,600 – £192,500 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Barkus Way, High Wycombe
86 of the sales on record are leasehold and 55 freehold — 61.0% 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.
The median leasehold sale is £120,250 and the median freehold sale £154,950 — a gap of +28.9%. 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 | 86 | 61.0% | £120,250 |
| Freehold | 55 | 39.0% | £154,950 |
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.
Section 09
How Barkus Way, High Wycombe compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Barkus Way, High Wycombe sits below that national figure — -12.1%.
Within High Wycombe the street ranks 1246 of 1356 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £220,000 (-37.0%).
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 £43,000 to £380,000. 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.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Barkus Way, High Wycombe?

How many homes have sold in Barkus Way, High Wycombe?
141 sales are on record for Barkus Way, High Wycombe, the most recent completing on 24 Sep 2025. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.

When were Barkus Way, High Wycombe house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £206,500, set in 2017. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.

How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 24 Sep 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.
