In cash terms the typical GL12 8 home went from £78,500 in 1995 to £448,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 163%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2022; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2022 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GL12 8 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 2000 (+29.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−13.5%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +8.7% | +6.2% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.6% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
Over the last twelve months of data, 36 sales completed in GL12 8. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 108 sales a year recently, against 129 a year before 2008. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Reading the GL12 8 market
This is a thin market: 36 sales in the last twelve months of data. With that few transactions, one street selling well (or one block of cheap transfers) can move the median, so read the year lines as a range rather than a verdict. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the GL12 district median, GL12 8 sits 14% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
The rental side of GL12 8
The local authority for GL12 8 is South Gloucestershire, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,450 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £989 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,208 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, South Gloucestershire
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £448,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,450 a month (£17,400 a year) works out at a 3.9% gross yield, a ceiling figure that ignores letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax. Because rents are local-authority statistics, districts sharing the authority share the figure.

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. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £329,250 | £450,000 (+37%) | £685,000 (+52%) | £1,050,000 (+53%) |
