What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Hay Wains, Knebworth is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.

| Terraced | 18 | 64.3% | £237,500 | £196,000 – £475,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Hay Wains, Knebworth
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 28 freehold — 0.0% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 0 | 0.0% | — |
| Freehold | 28 | 100.0% | £292,475 |
| New build | 12 | 42.9% | £241,225 |
| Existing home | 16 | 57.1% | £390,000 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -38.1%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
Section 09
How Hay Wains, Knebworth compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Hay Wains, Knebworth sits above that national figure — +85.7%.
Within Knebworth the street ranks 55 of 97 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £235,000 (+24.5%).
No EPC floor areas could be matched to these sales, so no price per square metre is published here. An estimate would be a guess, and the archive does not publish guesses.
The full range on record runs from £196,000 to £585,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.

The highest yearly median on record is £236,225, set in 2003. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
