In cash terms the typical GL4 3 home went from £67,500 in 1995 to £250,000 in 2026, roughly 3.7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 70%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2024; the current median sits about 31% below that. Someone who bought at the 2024 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GL4 3 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 (+31.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2019 (−19.8%). 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) | −11.0% | −13.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.2% | −5.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.9% | −0.9% |
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.
Sales activity in GL4 3
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
GL4 3 recorded 21 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 76 sales a year before the financial crisis and 54 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 GL4 3 is
Only 21 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GL4 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
The rental side of GL4 3
GL4 3 falls under Gloucester, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,105 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £738 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,642 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Gloucester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £250,000 median sold price, £1,105 a month is £13,260 a year, a gross yield of 5.3%: 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.

Is GL4 3 (Abbeydale) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in GL4 3 (Abbeydale)?

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.
