Everything below comes from 13,749 sales recorded by HM Land Registry in AL10 (Hatfield) since 1995, real completion prices from real purchases, alongside the ONS's current rent figures. No valuations, no estimates, no asking prices.
Sales recorded to July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.

Everything rests on 13,749 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
AL10 is the postcode district covering Hatfield (new town) in Hatfield. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

In cash terms the typical AL10 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £365,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 185%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 14% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the AL10 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 (+25.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−10.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 47% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £661,200 against £213,000 for a flat, 3.1 times the price.

The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −1.4% | −3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.6% | −3.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in AL10
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 216 sales completed in AL10. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 694 sales a year before the financial crisis and 253 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
Reading the AL10 market
By median price AL10 sits at the bottom of its postcode area: the cheapest way in, with the least expectation already in the price.
What tenants pay around AL10
AL10 falls under Welwyn Hatfield, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,482 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £1,041 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,294 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Welwyn Hatfield
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £365,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,482 a month (£17,784 a year) works out at a 4.9% 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 price of an extra bedroom in AL
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the AL area. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
