In cash terms the typical GL1 4 home went from £30,000 in 1995 to £195,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 199%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 6% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GL1 4 median
Each bar is the change on the year before, in cash. The zero line is the boundary between rising and falling.
The strongest year on record here is 2002 (+32.0% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−22.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.9% | +0.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +5.3% | +0.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.5% | +1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in GL1 4
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 27 sales completed in GL1 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 331 sales a year before the financial crisis and 97 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
Rents around GL1 4
For renting purposes GL1 4 sits in Gloucester. The ONS average private rent there is £1,105 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £738 a month here against £1,642 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Gloucester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £195,000 median sold price, £1,105 a month is £13,260 a year, a gross yield of 6.8%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
The shape of the GL1 4 market
Only 27 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GL1 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

Bedroom by bedroom: GL prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the GL area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
