Stevenage and Stevenage Old Town continue to perform well, with rising prices, strong buyer demand and more homes coming to market, creating opportunities for both movers and first-time buyers this summer.

Letchworth’s housing market remains lively in July, with prices rising across The Grange, Phoenix Park & Jubilee, and Jackmans, and more homes available for buyers to choose from.

Homes here are agreeing fast and often above their guide, even with more choice than usual. Speed like this is built before launch, not after.

Summer can make a home look its best, but keeping it viewing-ready while family life carries on is another matter.
