In cash terms the typical AL10 8 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 171%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the AL10 8 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2003 (+26.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.3% | −5.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.9% | −1.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in AL10 8
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
AL10 8 recorded 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 190 sales a year before the financial crisis and 96 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around AL10 8
The local authority for AL10 8 is Welwyn Hatfield, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,482 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,041 a month here against £2,294 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Welwyn Hatfield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £350,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,482 a month (£17,784 a year) works out at a 5.1% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.
The shape of the AL10 8 market
This is a thin market: 35 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict.

The price of an extra bedroom in AL
Real sold prices by size across the AL area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £605,000 | £792,500 (+31%) | £1,160,000 (+46%) | £1,685,000 (+45%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
