Ayot St Peter market report AL6 0, Welwyn
The standing AL6 0 (Ayot St Peter) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 3,301 sales registered with HM Land Registry in AL6 0 (Welwyn) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the typical home in AL6 0 (Welwyn) sold for £783,200 in 2026, the median of 30 registered sales, up 3% on five years earlier. The mean was £908,100, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,600 per square metre over the last five years. The figures cover 3,301 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.
AL6 0 is one sector of AL6 (Welwyn): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

Today's AL6 0 prices, from the sold record
The 2026 median for AL6 0 is £783,200, taken from 30 registered sales. The mean, which is what most sites call the "average house price", is £908,100, well clear of it: the mark of a market where a small number of costly homes drag the average upwards.
Price per square metre in AL6 0
A square metre of AL6 0 home has cost about £5,600 on average across the last five years of sales, using the floor area on each home's Energy Performance Certificate: the measure that puts a studio and a five-bed on the same footing.
England and Wales as a whole trade at a £285,000 median, leaving AL6 0 175% above the national figure.
A typical AL6 0 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)
Year by year: the median as it was recorded, and the same figure brought into today's money with ONS CPIH, which is where "did homes get dearer" actually gets answered. Hover shows each year; the legend isolates a series.

| 1996 | £160,500 | £338,487 | 134 |
| 1995 | £149,000 | £323,903 | 91 |
In cash terms the typical AL6 0 home went from £149,000 in 1995 to £783,200 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 142%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the AL6 0 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 (+30.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−17.8%). 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) | −0.5% | −2.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.6% | −4.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.9% | −2.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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.
Sales activity in AL6 0
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 30 AL6 0 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 124 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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.
Rents around AL6 0
AL6 0 falls under Welwyn Hatfield, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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 £783,200 median purchase price, a rent of £1,482 a month (£17,784 a year) works out at a 2.3% 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.
How AL6 0 trades
Only 30 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes AL6 0 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within AL6, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
AL6 0 (Ayot St Peter): the questions that come up
Are property prices falling in AL6 0 (Ayot St Peter)?
Is AL6 0 (Ayot St Peter) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in AL6 0 (Ayot St Peter)?
Will AL6 0 prices rise from here?
The record answers a different question than "what happens next": the median is up 3% over five years in cash but down 19% after inflation. Put the volume chart beside the price chart before drawing conclusions, and allow for the register's lag behind actual completions.

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%) |
| Semi-detached | £397,500 | £490,000 (+23%) | £640,000 (+31%) | £865,000 (+35%) | £1,150,000 (+33%) |
| Terraced | £375,000 | £440,000 (+17%) | £506,250 (+15%) | £739,000 (+46%) | £950,000 (+29%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
