A typical Bushey house costs about £570,000. Flats go for a little over £300,000. Semis go for about £626,000. Detached houses come close to £850,000. The middle of the market is what Bushey sells most of, and it doesn't come cheap.
The Land Registry recorded 257 sales in Bushey in the year to late May 2026, with a typical price of about £570,000. By type, 59 flats sold for about £320,000, 71 terraced houses for about £471,000, 72 semis for about £626,000 and 55 detached houses for about £847,000. Sales were spread fairly evenly across the four types, so no single type pulls the overall figure up or down. The terrace is the cheap house in Bushey, and it still costs nearly half a million.
The official house price index for the area put the average at about £562,000 in May 2026, up 2.8% over twelve months. Flats rose by 0.7% over the same period. That is a modest year for houses and a near-flat one for flats, and anyone who bought a flat a year ago and hoped to make money on it is still waiting.
Band E is the most common council-tax band in Bushey, and only about 5% of homes are in bands A or B. A band D bill runs to about £2,400 a year, and the most common band here is a step above that. Bushey has hardly any homes in the cheap bands.
Hertsmere council area's typical private rent was about £1,800 a month in April 2026, up 2.5% on a year earlier. That is the Office for National Statistics' average for the whole borough, so it covers more than Bushey itself. By size, a one-bed averaged about £1,230, a two-bed £1,580, a three-bed £1,900 and a four-bed or larger about £2,750. No reliable figure exists for studios or single rooms, and none is given here.
Household income is less tidy. The Office for National Statistics modelled gross household income, before tax, at about £70,000 for the financial year to March 2023, averaged across Bushey. That figure is a few years old and taken before tax, while the price is this year's, so a £570,000 house is a long stretch on what most households here earn. Plenty of the people buying are already selling something else to do it.
Of the sales that could be matched to an energy certificate's floor area, about 88% of the year's total, the median price was about £5,900 per square metre, for a typical home of about 93 square metres. A good part of that price is the location, and the floor area is simply the part you can measure.
At the 2021 census, about 12% of Bushey homes had one bedroom, 28% had two, 34% had three and 27% had four or more. Four-bed homes far outnumber one-beds, so the town was built for households that meant to grow and then stay. That keeps entry-level homes scarce at the bottom of the ladder.
Bushey is middling on price. It is expensive enough that one salary rarely covers it, and it has had too steady a year for buyers to find a bargain or be badly overcharged.
