In cash terms the typical GL12 home went from £74,800 in 1995 to £388,800 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 139%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2019. The market now sits about 18% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GL12 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 (+21.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.3%). 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 year (since 2025) | −1.6% | −3.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.8% | −2.9% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +1.8% | −2.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.7% | −0.1% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £530,000 against £255,000 for a flat, 2.1 times the price.

Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
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.
Month by month, five years back
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 140 GL12 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 241 sales a year before the financial crisis and 178 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The shape of the GL12 market
This is a thin market: 140 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.
What homes rent for around GL12
For renting purposes GL12 sits in Stroud. The ONS average private rent there is £1,039 a month (May 2026). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £742 a month here against £1,660 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Stroud
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £388,800 median sold price, £1,039 a month is £12,468 a year, a gross yield of 3.2%: 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.

Month by month: when GL12 sells
March is when GL12 changes hands most (10.8% of the 1,188 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 4.9%. The gap between the two is wide enough to plan around: completion follows the agreed sale by weeks, so the busiest month for completions points to deals done earlier, and a seller wanting several bidders should list ahead of it.
Sales by month, 2021 to 2025
| Month | Sales | Share |
|---|---|---|
| January | 58 | 4.9% |
| February | 97 | 8.2% |

Moving up a bedroom in GL: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the GL area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | £285,000 | £325,000 (+14%) | £375,000 (+15%) | £470,000 (+25%) | £603,500 (+28%) |

| Flat | £130,500 | £176,000 (+35%) | £295,750 (+68%) | £405,000 (+37%) | £562,500 (+39%) |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
