SG11 is the postcode district covering Albury, Braughing, Bury Green in Ware. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

What buyers actually paid in SG11
32 sales were registered in SG11 in 2026, and the middle one of them, the median, went for £417,500. The mean works out at £438,900, modestly above it, the usual shape of a market with an expensive tail.
What a square metre costs in SG11
The last five years of sales put SG11 at roughly £5,030 per square metre. That figure, built from each sale's Energy Performance Certificate floor area, is the one that makes a small flat and a big house comparable.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so SG11 trades 46% above the country as a whole.

| 1996 | £93,000 | £196,133 | 236 |
| 1995 | £96,200 | £209,124 | 114 |
In cash terms the typical SG11 home went from £96,200 in 1995 to £417,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 100%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2021. The market now sits about 39% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the SG11 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 2016 (+34.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−16.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. In 2025, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £772,500 against £230,000 for a flat, 3.4 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −16.5% | −18.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −5.1% | −9.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | −1.2% | −4.4% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −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 SG11
The year-by-year sales count
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The last five years, month by month
Monthly registrations. The sawtooth is seasonal; the register runs weeks behind completions at the right-hand edge.
Over the last twelve months of data, 82 sales completed in SG11. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 171 sales a year before the financial crisis and 94 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 rental side of SG11
For renting purposes SG11 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.
Set against the £417,500 median sold price, £1,503 a month is £18,036 a year, a gross yield of 4.3%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How SG11 trades
This is a thin market: 82 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.
SG11 (Albury): the questions that come up
Is SG11 (Albury) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in SG11 (Albury)?
Are property prices falling in SG11 (Albury)?
Are SG11 prices heading up or down?
Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 23% over five years in cash but down 39% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.

Moving up a bedroom in SG: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the SG area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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%) |
| Terraced | £290,000 | £342,000 (+18%) | £375,000 (+10%) | £510,000 (+36%) | £715,000 (+40%) |
| Flat | £205,000 | £270,000 (+32%) | £410,000 (+52%) | — | — |
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.
