What buyers actually paid in GL19
Take the 34 registered 2026 sales in GL19 and the middle price, the median, is £372,500. The mean lands at £558,700, a long way above it, which tells you a few very expensive sales are pulling the average up.
Price per square metre in GL19
Measured by floor area, the last five years of GL19 sales average about £3,820 per square metre. Price per square metre is the fair way to compare a one-bed flat with a four-bed house, and it comes from the Energy Performance Certificate on each sold home.
For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so GL19 trades 31% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical GL19 home went from £88,000 in 1995 to £372,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 95%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 36% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GL19 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 (+29.8% 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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 72% of the typed total.

How many homes change hands in GL19
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
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 62 GL19 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 92 sales a year recently, against 113 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 rental side of GL19
The local authority for GL19 is Forest of Dean, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £372,500 median sold price, £823 a month is £9,876 a year, a gross yield of 2.7%: 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.
What kind of market GL19 is
This is a thin market: 62 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. Detached homes made up 67% of last year's sales, an unusually house-heavy mix that keeps the median well above what a flat or terrace here goes for. 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.

Nobody can tell you that, and this page will not pretend to. What the record shows: the median is down 8% over five years in cash but down 27% after inflation. If you are weighing a purchase, read the volume chart alongside the price one, and remember that every figure here is a completed sale, lagged by the weeks it takes the Land Registry to register it.
What you could buy in GL19 now

GL19 registered 62 sales in the last twelve months; the 31 homes listed now would take about 6 months to clear at that rate. The count covers agents publishing to HomesIndex, so the real stock is larger.
10% of current listings sit under the prices comparable homes actually fetched. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Month by month: when GL19 sells
June is when GL19 changes hands most (13.4% of the 605 sales dated 2021 to 2025); January is the quiet end at 5.0%. 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 | 30 | 5.0% |
| February | 48 | 7.9% |

What another bedroom costs in GL
Real sold prices by size across the GL area, straight from the Land Registry record. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) |
| Semi-detached | £224,000 | £263,000 (+17%) | £299,250 (+14%) | £365,000 (+22%) | £490,000 (+34%) |

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.

The live map plots every individual GL19 sale at its exact address, and the average prices map zooms from neighbourhood shading to single homes. For a specific question, the report tool writes a custom answer, and any sale's mortgage and rent calculator runs the numbers on a real purchase.
About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
