What a square metre costs in SG1 3

| 1995 | £63,800 | £138,691 | 77 |
In cash terms the typical SG1 3 home went from £63,800 in 1995 to £368,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 165%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2017; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2017 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SG1 3 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 2000 (+28.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−18.2%). 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) | +0.8% | −1.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.0% | −3.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.5% | −0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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 SG1 3
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
SG1 3 recorded 43 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 170 sales a year before the financial crisis and 87 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.
The shape of the SG1 3 market
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SG1 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.
What tenants pay around SG1 3
The local authority for SG1 3 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 £368,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.7%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in SG: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SG 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £425,000 | £562,950 (+32%) | £790,000 (+40%) | £1,107,500 (+40%) |

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
