Welcome to this Tewin & Digswell property market report for May 2026, taking a closer look at what is happening in Tewin, Burnham Green and Digswell so that local homeowners, sellers and buyers can make informed decisions.

Across the wider area, the picture is one of contrast. Tewin and Burnham Green are showing resilient prices and steady activity, while Digswell is experiencing a marked period of reset following several very strong years. Stock levels are higher than the three year average in both markets, giving buyers more choice and putting realistic pricing at the top of every seller’s to do list.

In Tewin and Burnham Green, the 12 month average sale price now stands at £941,000 with an average of £573 per square foot. Over the past year values have edged up by 2.3 per cent and by 8.8 per cent over five years. Detached homes here average £1.13 million, semi detached £828,000, terraced £513,000 and flats £835,000. These figures sit well above the wider East of England, where the average property is £332,000, and England and Wales at £276,000, both of which have seen slight price falls per square foot over the last year.

There were 26 sales in Tewin and Burnham Green over the past 12 months, with Lower Green (AL6) the most active street. It is taking around 44 days on average to agree a sale, which suggests that well presented and sensibly priced homes are finding buyers within a reasonable timeframe. However, the most recent data shows sellers are achieving around 85.1 per cent of their asking price. That gap indicates that many initial asking prices are still a little ahead of where buyers feel comfortable, and that negotiation is very much part of the process.

Stock levels in Tewin and Burnham Green are up, with 51 homes currently available. This is 30.8 per cent more than the three year average, and there were 6 new listings last month. For sellers, this means more competition from other properties, especially if several are similar in size and style. For buyers, it means better choice and a bit more time to make decisions, rather than feeling rushed into an offer.

Digswell, by contrast, is going through a more noticeable correction. The 12 month average sale price is currently £642,000, with an average of £442 per square foot. Year on year, values are down 26.6 per cent, and over five years they are down 17.2 per cent. Detached homes in Digswell are averaging £879,000, semi detached £519,000, terraced £577,000 and flats £381,000. The sizeable annual change reflects how far the market had moved in previous years and how sensitive it can be to shifts in mortgage costs and buyer confidence.
