Our take · opinion, not advice
Our take on selling in Old Town / centre: a steady market, so let the sold prices lead
Old Town / centre is neither busy nor quiet, at about 39 sales a month, which suits pricing from the latest sold homes better than from any single average or trend.
Before you accept anything, Old Town / centre sales mostly ran from £199,700 to £530,000, so find the sold homes closest to yours and price against those; sales arrive at a steady pace, so there is no need to rush to a low price.
Compare optionsWith a steady flow of sales, you can sell the usual way if you have time, and keep a cash route in mind if you do not; on the typical £345,000 home, a cash offer at 70–85% of market value would be about £241,000 to £293,000 (a rough guide, not a quote), so compare any offer with sold homes like yours.
Before you list or answer a buyer in Old Town / centre, gather a clear list of what the sale includes (fixtures and fittings); an up-to-date EPC; and proof of ownership and the title plan, and ask your conveyancer what else your sale needs.
Hearing an offer costs nothing: ask a cash buyer to contact you, then measure it against the sold prices on this page.

Rent: ONS Price Index of Private Rents, August 2026 (published 16 September 2026): the average monthly rent for all private rented homes in Stevenage, up 4.4% on a year earlier. It covers the whole area, not just SG1. Official statistics in development. By size: 1 bed £1,028, 2 bed £1,321, 3 bed £1,551, 4+ bed £2,126.
Gross yield is 12 months of that average rent divided by the SG1 median sale price. It is gross, before costs such as void periods, agent and management fees, repairs, insurance, tax and mortgage interest, and illustrative only: the rent covers a whole local area and every property type, while the price is for SG1, so the two are not a like-for-like pair.
Price spread and sales volume are from HM Land Registry sold prices. Liquidity (sales volume) is a rough guide to how many homes change hands, not a forecast.
