Welwyn Garden City property market: common questions
Where is Welwyn Garden City?
Welwyn Garden City is in Hertfordshire.
What is the average house price in Welwyn Garden City?
The median asking price across the 276 homes for sale in Welwyn Garden City is £325,000 (as of 5 October 2026). We quote the median (the middle listing) rather than a mean, because a handful of very expensive homes would pull a mean upwards. Half of listings ask between £240,000 and £500,000. That is 32% below Hertfordshire. Homes that actually sold in Welwyn Garden City went for a median £411,500 (Land Registry, 12 months to January 2026).
Are house prices in Welwyn Garden City rising or falling?
Rising over the long run, flat over the last year. Based on HM Land Registry completed sales, the median sold price in Welwyn Garden City is up 32% over the last 10 years and broadly flat over the last 12 months (12 months to January 2026). These medians compare the homes that happened to sell in each window, so they mix price movement with changes in what sold.
Is Welwyn Garden City cheaper than Hertfordshire?
Yes: asking prices in Welwyn Garden City are typically lower than across Hertfordshire. The median asking price in Welwyn Garden City is £325,000 against £475k across Hertfordshire: 32% below Hertfordshire. Some of that gap reflects what is for sale in each place rather than like-for-like value. The saving holds from the lower end to the top of the market.
How many homes are for sale in Welwyn Garden City?
276 homes are on the market in Welwyn Garden City right now, down 10% since 1 Sept, 56 of them listed in the last 30 days. Perch counts every listing it tracks across estate agents and portals, refreshed daily.
Are house prices being cut in Welwyn Garden City?
55 listings in Welwyn Garden City had their asking price reduced in the last 30 days, about 20% of the homes currently for sale.
How long are homes on the market in Welwyn Garden City?
Of the Welwyn Garden City listings that came off the market in the last 30 days and that we first saw after we began tracking the area, the typical one had been advertised for 110 days. Coming off the market usually means sold subject to contract, but it can also mean withdrawn, so treat this as time advertised rather than time to sell.
How much do flats and houses cost in Welwyn Garden City?
The median asking price for a flat in Welwyn Garden City is £240,000. Houses are quoted by type rather than as one figure, because the mix moves the number more than the market does: the largest group on the market is terraced houses, at a median £437,500 across 50 listings. The Prices by property type chart on this page covers every type we track.
How much is a two-bedroom flat in Welwyn Garden City?

What is the price per square foot in Welwyn Garden City?
In Welwyn Garden City, homes that sold went for a median £476 per sq ft (HM Land Registry and EPC data), and current listings with a known floor area ask a median £430 per sq ft.
How these numbers are made
- Asking figures: Current listings we track across estate agents and portals (276 in Welwyn Garden City), refreshed daily, as of 5 October 2026. We quote medians, never means, and suppress anything based on fewer than 5 listings.
- Off market and time listed: Off-market counts include only listings confirmed off the market after a short grace period; "typical time listed" is time advertised, not time to sell. We have tracked Welwyn Garden City since December 2025.
- Hertfordshire comparisons: The same daily snapshot taken across the whole of Hertfordshire, so both sides of every comparison share one basis. Where a comparison spans all property types, some of the gap reflects what is for sale here.
- Sold figures: HM Land Registry price paid data. Sold prices and sales counts cover the 12 months to January 2026; sold price per square foot covers the 12 months to July 2026, with floor areas from EPC certificates (the two run on different pipelines, and the latest months are left out while sales are still being registered). England and Wales; new-builds and non-standard transactions excluded.
