SG7 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside SG7 (Baldock). 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.

| 1996 | £60,000 | £126,537 | 232 |
| 1995 | £63,400 | £137,822 | 165 |
In cash terms the typical SG7 6 home went from £63,400 in 1995 to £365,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 165%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 18% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the SG7 6 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 (+24.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +3.6% | +1.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.8% |
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 SG7 6
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 register shows 43 SG7 6 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 220 sales a year before the financial crisis and 105 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 tenants pay around SG7 6
The local authority for SG7 6 is North Hertfordshire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,421 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £1,013 a month here against £2,218 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, North Hertfordshire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £365,000 median sold price, £1,421 a month is £17,052 a year, a gross yield of 4.7%: 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.
Reading the SG7 6 market
Only 43 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes SG7 6 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

SG7's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 194 homes at the moment, listed by 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole SG7 district, not just SG7 6: live asking prices are collected per district.

- High Street, Baldock, Hertfordshire, Baldock
- Stane Street, Baldock, Hertfordshire, Baldock
- Colbron Close, Ashwell, Baldock, Ashwell
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Bedroom by bedroom: SG prices by size
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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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.

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.
