SG11 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SG11 (Ware). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical SG11 1 home went from £93,100 in 1995 to £415,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 105%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 35% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the SG11 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 (+25.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−18.0%). 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) | −7.8% | −9.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.9% | −8.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.1% | −3.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Sales activity in SG11 1
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.
SG11 1 recorded 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 123 sales a year before the financial crisis and 69 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.
What kind of market SG11 1 is
This is a thin market: 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. 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.
The rental side of SG11 1
For renting purposes SG11 1 sits in East Hertfordshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,503 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £1,064 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,406 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, East Hertfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £415,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,503 a month (£18,036 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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.

These cover the whole SG11 district, not just SG11 1: live asking prices are collected per district.

- High Cross, Ware, Hertfordshire, Ware
- Little Hadham, Ware, Hertfordshire, Ware

"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
Bedroom by bedroom: SG prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the SG area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
| 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%) |

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