Deprivation (IMD)

Area profile for AL6

Across the 12 sampled AL6 postcodes, deprivation runs decile 6 to decile 10, with a median of decile 8 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived.

1 · most deprived10 · least deprived

AL6 9TS, the sampled postcode sitting at that median: On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, this postcode falls in decile 8 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. It's area context for the wider neighbourhood, not a judgement on any individual home.

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (English Indices of Deprivation 2025, MHCLG). Deprivation is published for small areas (LSOAs), not for postcode districts, so AL6 spans several. We sampled 12 postcodes in AL6 that have recorded sales and 12 returned a row. It is context for the neighbourhood, never a judgement on any individual home.

What it costs to run a home in AL6, band by band

East Hertfordshire's council tax for 2026-27 set against the AL6 median sold price of £730,000 across 250 recorded sales — the annual running cost beside the purchase price, which neither source shows on its own.

The last column is the band's annual charge divided by the AL6 median sold price — a comparison of two published figures, not a rate anyone charges. It is not a mapping from price to band: a band records what a home was worth on 1 April 1991 and is set by the Valuation Office Agency, so it cannot be worked out from a 2020s sale price. Look up a specific band on GOV.UK. Instalment counts vary by authority, so the monthly column is simply the year over twelve.

Questions, answered

The AL6 report: your questions

What is the average house price in AL6?
The median sold price in AL6, East Hertfordshire was £730,000 across 250 recorded sales between 25 Oct 2024 and 23 Jul 2026. Most sales fell between £380,000 and £1,350,000. That is the median of real HM Land Registry transactions, not an estimate or a valuation.
How much is council tax in AL6?
AL6 is billed by East Hertfordshire, whose Band D charge for 2026-27 is £2,455 a year. Every band from A to H is listed on this page. A property's band is set by the Valuation Office Agency and there is no free per-address dataset for it, so we never guess an individual home's band — look it up on GOV.UK and read your row.
Which schools are near AL6?
The Department for Education's register lists 8 open schools within 3 km of the AL6 district centre, the nearest being Sherrardswood School. These are nearest by straight-line distance from the district centroid — they are not catchment or admission areas, which councils set individually and do not publish centrally.
Is AL6 a deprived area?
On the English Indices of Deprivation 2025, the 12 AL6 postcodes we sampled run from decile 6 to decile 10, with a median of decile 8 of 10 — where 1 is among the most deprived 10% of England and 10 the least deprived. Deprivation is published for small areas, not postcode districts, so a district like AL6 usually spans several. It is area context, never a judgement on an individual home.
Have there been planning applications near AL6?
The last check of the local planning authority register found 22 applications within 500 m of the AL6 district centre; the most recent are listed on this page with their reference, description and status as the authority published them. For an up-to-the-minute search, use the planning tool with your full postcode.
Can I see what an individual address in AL6 sold for?
Yes — this page lists the 24 most recently sold doors of the 245 distinct addresses in the records we hold for AL6, each with its price and date. Addresses come from recorded sales since 1995, so a home that has never been sold does not appear; and we link an address to its own property page only where the match is certain, never by guessing.
How up to date are the AL6 sold prices?
Sold prices come from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data, covering sales up to 31 July 2026. The store is rebuilt monthly. New sales can take several weeks to appear in the official register after completion, so the very latest transactions may not show yet.
Does AL6 cover my exact street?
AL6 is the outward half of the postcode and covers the whole district, so the district-wide figures on this page are medians and ranges — not a valuation of any single property. The address list gives you the door-level picture, and the free checks take a full postcode.
