Sales data to 2026. Rents: ONS, May 2026. Regenerated with every monthly data refresh. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: the 2026 median for GL3 1 (Gloucester) is £275,000, from 53 registered sales, down 5% on five years earlier; the mean is £279,600, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,550 per square metre over the last five years.

GL3 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside GL3 (Gloucester). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical GL3 1 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £275,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 153%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GL3 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 (+35.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−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 year (since 2025) | −15.1% | −17.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.1% | −5.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.8% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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.
How many homes change hands in GL3 1
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.
GL3 1 recorded 53 sales in the last twelve months of data. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 174 sales a year over the last five years against 147 before the financial crisis. 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 homes rent for around GL3 1
GL3 1 falls under Tewkesbury, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,020 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £696 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,663, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Tewkesbury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,020 a month is £12,240 a year, which against the £275,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.5%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.
What kind of market GL3 1 is
This is a thin market: 53 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. Against the GL3 district median, GL3 1 sits 8% lower, marking it as a cheaper pocket of the district.

What happens to GL3 1 prices now?

The price of an extra bedroom in GL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the GL area, 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%) |
| Terraced | £195,000 | £230,300 (+18%) | £270,000 (+17%) | £330,000 (+22%) | £470,000 (+42%) |
| Flat | £130,500 | £176,000 (+35%) | £295,750 (+68%) | £405,000 (+37%) | £562,500 (+39%) |

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.
