House prices per square metre in GL15

| 1995 | £51,000 | £110,866 | 267 |
In cash terms the typical GL15 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £273,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 146%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 19% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GL15 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 (+28.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−17.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GL15 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.7% | −3.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.2% | −3.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.5% |
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, 47% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £365,000 against £120,000 for a flat, 3.0 times the price.

Transaction volumes
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
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
Over the last twelve months of data, 249 sales completed in GL15. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 395 sales a year before the financial crisis and 297 a year over the last five. 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.
What kind of market GL15 is
Among the 27 measurable districts of its area, GL15 ranks 22 by median price: towards the affordable end.
What homes rent for around GL15
GL15 falls under Forest of Dean, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £823 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £590 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,442, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Forest of Dean
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £273,000 median sold price, £823 a month is £9,876 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: GL prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the GL area, 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.

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

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
