Tewin & Digswell Property Market Report, October 2026
At the top of the market, asking prices in Tewin and Digswell have run ahead of the evidence.
In Tewin and Burnham Green, the average asking price of the homes for sale is £1.22 million. The average price achieved by the homes that actually sold over the past year was £886,000. They are not the same homes, so the gap is not a discount, but it says something useful about where sellers' expectations sit this autumn.
The other signals point the same way. Across the wider Tewin postcode sector, asking prices have risen 8 percent in a year, while the price per square foot achieved on completed sales has barely moved. Average sale prices in both Tewin and Burnham Green and Digswell were 2.7 percent lower than the year before.
Supply is long. There are 45 homes for sale in Tewin and Burnham Green, 55 percent more than the three-year average and close to two years of stock at the current rate of sales. Homes that agreed a sale in the latest month had been on the market for around 156 days. Digswell is smaller and has moved a little faster, with around thirteen months of supply.
At this level, the first price matters more than anywhere else. Buyers for a £1 million home are fewer, well informed and rarely in a hurry, and they notice a home that has been listed for months. Surveyors responding to the RICS survey this month made the same observation: correctly priced homes attract the most interest.
Nationally, Rightmove's top of the ladder homes are 0.3 percent higher than a year ago. In this week's Budget, the government confirmed that most unused pension funds will count towards an estate for inheritance tax from April 2027, which families planning how property passes between generations may wish to take advice on.
For sellers, a private introduction to matched buyers before the public launch tests the price without the cost of a long public listing.
