In cash terms the typical GL15 5 home went from £47,000 in 1995 to £238,800 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 2022; the current median sits about 22% 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 GL15 5 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 2003 (+30.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−15.1%). 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) | −5.4% | −7.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.8% | −3.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.3% | −0.5% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
The year-by-year sales count
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.
The register shows 62 GL15 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 175 sales a year recently, against 182 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.
The shape of the GL15 5 market
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. Within GL15, this sector trades 13% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What tenants pay around GL15 5
The local authority for GL15 5 is Forest of Dean, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £823 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £590 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,442 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Forest of Dean
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £238,800 median purchase price, a rent of £823 a month (£9,876 a year) works out at a 4.1% 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.

What another bedroom costs in GL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the GL area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
