| 1995 | £134,000 | £291,295 | 66 |
In cash terms the typical EN6 4 home went from £134,000 in 1995 to £650,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 123%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2018, and today's median remains roughly 34% under it: a 2018 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the EN6 4 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 (+31.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2024 (−20.3%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −14.5% | −16.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.2% | −5.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.6% | −2.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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 EN6 4
How many homes change hands
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 25 EN6 4 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 114 sales a year before the financial crisis and 73 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.
The shape of the EN6 4 market
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes EN6 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the EN6 district median, EN6 4 sits 11% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of EN6 4
The local authority for EN6 4 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 £650,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,482 a month (£17,784 a year) works out at a 2.7% 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 EN
Real sold prices by size across the EN 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 | — | £525,000 | £690,000 (+31%) | £975,000 (+41%) | £1,359,000 (+39%) |
| Semi-detached | £402,625 | £470,000 (+17%) | £555,000 (+18%) | £720,000 (+30%) | £971,000 (+35%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
