Newgate Street Village market report SG13, Hertford
The standing SG13 (Newgate Street Village) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 11,273 registered sales in SG13 (Hertford) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Covers registered sales to July 2026 and ONS rents for May 2026. Refreshed monthly as new sales reach the register.
In short: 100 registered 2026 sales put the SG13 (Hertford) median at £420,800, down 2% on five years earlier, with a mean of £500,200, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £5,460 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 11,273 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
SG13 is the postcode district covering Hertford (south and east), Newgate Street Village, Bayford in Hertford. 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 SG13
The SG13 median stands at £420,800 for 2026, built from 100 registered sales; the mean, the figure usually quoted as the "average house price", is £500,200, well above it, the signature of a heavy top tail: a handful of expensive sales lifting the average.
SG13 prices by floor area
Per square metre, SG13 homes have averaged around £5,460 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.
Against a national (England and Wales) median of £285,000, SG13 runs 48% above it.

In cash terms the typical SG13 home went from £75,500 in 1995 to £420,800 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 156%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2017, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2017 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SG13 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 2001 (+29.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−9.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −6.5% | −8.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.2% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of terraced homes dominate the record here, 36% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £782,500 against £290,000 for a flat, 2.7 times the price.

How many homes change hands in SG13
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 214 SG13 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 444 sales a year before the financial crisis and 248 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.
Rents around SG13
For renting purposes SG13 sits in East Hertfordshire. The ONS average private rent there is £1,503 a month (May 2026). A one-bed averages £1,064 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £2,406, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, East Hertfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £420,800 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.
What kind of market SG13 is
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.

What another bedroom costs in SG
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.
| 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%) | — | — |
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.
