In cash terms the typical GL18 1 home went from £63,700 in 1995 to £273,900 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 98%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 24% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GL18 1 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 2002 (+31.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−18.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GL18 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.4% | −2.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
GL18 1 recorded 37 sales in the last twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 125 sales a year recently, against 114 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.
How GL18 1 trades
This is a thin market: 37 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.
What homes rent for around GL18 1
The local authority for GL18 1 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 £273,900 median purchase price, a rent of £823 a month (£9,876 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.

Moving up a bedroom in GL: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the GL area. 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.
