In cash terms the typical SG1 1 home went from £41,000 in 1995 to £305,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 242%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 13% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SG1 1 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 (+31.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2016 (−10.9%). 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) | +1.7% | −0.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.9% | −2.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.4% | +1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
The register shows 17 SG1 1 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 117 sales a year before the financial crisis and 64 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.
What kind of market SG1 1 is
Only 17 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SG1 1 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching. Within SG1, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around SG1 1
The local authority for SG1 1 is Stevenage, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,426 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,018 a month here against £2,110 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Stevenage
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,426 a month is £17,112 a year, which against the £305,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 5.6%. 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.

What another bedroom costs in SG
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the SG area. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £425,000 | £562,950 (+32%) | £790,000 (+40%) | £1,107,500 (+40%) |
| Semi-detached | £315,000 | £375,000 (+19%) | £450,000 (+20%) | £582,500 (+29%) | £785,000 (+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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
