A postcode sector like GL3 2 is a single group of streets within GL3 (Gloucester), the finest slice the public record supports. Fewer sales stand behind each figure than at district level, so the lines jump about more.

| 1995 | £56,500 | £122,822 | 107 |
In cash terms the typical GL3 2 home went from £56,500 in 1995 to £333,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 171%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 9% 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 GL3 2 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 (+21.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.3%). 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) | +4.1% | +1.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.4% | +0.6% |
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 2
How many homes change hands
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 register shows 42 GL3 2 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 158 sales a year before the financial crisis and 99 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.
Reading the GL3 2 market
This is a thin market: 42 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. Against the GL3 district median, GL3 2 sits 12% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What homes rent for around GL3 2
For renting purposes GL3 2 sits in Tewkesbury. The ONS average private rent there is £1,020 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £696 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,663 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Tewkesbury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £333,000 median sold price, £1,020 a month is £12,240 a year, a gross yield of 3.7%: 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in GL
Real sold prices by size across the GL area, straight 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.
