In cash terms the typical GL13 home went from £64,000 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 134%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GL13 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 2001 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−20.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 37% of the typed total. In 2022, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £400,000 against £141,500 for a flat, 2.8 times the price.

Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +1.6% | −0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.4% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.9% | +0.1% |
The table annualises median growth over each period, with the real column deflated by ONS CPIH. Smoothing hides the cycle (see the chart above for it), and none of this forecasts: it is the record.
Sales activity in GL13
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.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
GL13 recorded 61 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 91 sales a year recently, against 101 a year before 2008. 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.
What kind of market GL13 is
This is a thin market: 61 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.
Rents around GL13
The local authority for GL13 is Stroud, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,039 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £742 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,660, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Stroud
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £325,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,039 a month (£12,468 a year) works out at a 3.8% 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.

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.
