Where does this St Albans data come from?

Property Deals Insight maintains a database of around 34 million UK properties. These area figures aggregate advertised sale and rental listings for the St Albans local authority district.

What these numbers include

These are advertised asking prices and advertised rents, aggregated from property listings — not achieved sale prices.
Gross yield excludes voids, management, maintenance, ground rent and finance, so a real net yield will be materially lower.
Medians are taken across residential property-type categories. Per-room lettings and non-residential premises are excluded and shown separately.
St Albans is a UK local authority district, not a town or postcode area.
Related areas are matched on median asking price, not geography.
Observation window: sale listings first advertised in the 180 days to 13 September 2026, and rental listings in the 90 days to 13 September 2026. A listing is counted from when it was first advertised, so these are not necessarily still on the market.
Gross yield combines two different windows — a 90-day rent sample over a 180-day sale sample — so it is not a like-for-like snapshot of a single moment.
