In cash terms the typical AL10 9 home went from £58,000 in 1995 to £382,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 203%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the AL10 9 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 2002 (+61.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2010 (−16.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.8% | −8.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.6% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
How many homes change hands in AL10 9
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 42 AL10 9 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 333 sales a year before the financial crisis and 84 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
What kind of market AL10 9 is
Only 42 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes AL10 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What homes rent for around AL10 9
The local authority for AL10 9 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.
£1,482 a month is £17,784 a year, which against the £382,500 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.6%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

The price of an extra bedroom in AL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the AL area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
