How Pottersheath Road, Welwyn prices moved
The chart tracks the median Pottersheath Road, Welwyn house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1995 to 2019. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 1 | £148,500 | £329,740 |
| 2000s | 1 | £564,750 | £1,028,808 |
| 2010s | 2 | £675,000 | £951,750 |
The highest yearly median on record for Pottersheath Road, Welwyn is £849,950 in 2019; the lowest is £148,500 in 1995. Across the full 25-year record the cash median has moved from £148,500 to £849,950.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £329,740, so the real change over the whole record is +237.1% — about +5.19% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +50.5% in cash against +13.2% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Pottersheath Road, Welwyn is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 51 | 63.7% | £750,000 | £100,000 – £2,074,000 |
| Semi-detached | 26 | 32.5% | £440,000 | £129,000 – £825,000 |

Section 06
Ownership and new build in Pottersheath Road, Welwyn
0 of the sales on record are leasehold and 80 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 | 80 | 100.0% | £633,500 |
| New build | 5 | 6.3% | £749,950 |
| Existing home | 75 | 93.8% | £630,000 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +19.0%. 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.
A further 2 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.
Section 09
How Pottersheath Road, Welwyn compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Pottersheath Road, Welwyn sits above that national figure — +302.2%.
Within Welwyn the street ranks 50 of 211 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £410,000 (+54.5%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £4,449 per square metre, across 10 of the 80 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £100,000 to £2,074,000. 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.
