High Wycombe house prices: £450,000, postcode by postcode

High Wycombe sits in a gap in the Chilterns and made furniture for centuries, the chairs turned from beech cut in the woods above the town. Marlow is down on the Thames with the suspension bridge, Princes Risborough is the other side of the hills, and Bourne End, Hazlemere, Flackwell Heath and the Chiltern villages fill in around them.

Wycombe Today reports what the record shows across all of it. Since 2020 one authority has run everything here: Buckinghamshire Council took over from the county and the districts, so planning, bins, roads, licensing, council tax and schools all come out of the same place. It publishes the evidence where hardly anybody reads it. We read it and write down what it says, with a link to the document every time.

Where to begin

• House prices: the median Wycombe-area home sold for £450,000 in the year to June 2026, and £325,000 in HP11 against £650,000 in Marlow. Every figure from Land Registry sales.
• Planning news: nine High Wycombe sites are allocated for 2,761 homes in the draft Local Plan, and comments close on 6 September 2026.
• Trains to London: 27 minutes to Marylebone, £4,696 a year, and what the other two towns pay.
• Roadworks and parking: what is shut this week, and where a full day’s parking costs £4.30 instead of £10.80.
• Things to do: ten places in and around the town with 2026 prices, from a free museum to the Hellfire Caves.

Nothing here is guesswork. Every figure links to its source.
