In cash terms the typical GL4 4 home went from £48,500 in 1995 to £265,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 151%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GL4 4 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 (+22.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−8.1%). 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 years (since 2025) | +1.5% | −0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.0% | +0.2% |
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.
How many homes change hands in GL4 4
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 59 sales completed in GL4 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 263 sales a year before the financial crisis and 121 a year over the last five. Watch the volume as closely as the price. Thin years make jumpy medians, where one street's sales can move the figure, and the newest year is always incomplete because registrations trail completions by weeks or months.
The rental side of GL4 4
The local authority for GL4 4 is Gloucester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,105 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £738 a month here against £1,642 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Gloucester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £265,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,105 a month (£13,260 a year) works out at a 5.0% 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.
What kind of market GL4 4 is
Only 59 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GL4 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint.

On the market in GL4 today
Turning to what is actually available: 135 homes on the market right now, from 13 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole GL4 district, not just GL4 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 35% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.

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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
The price of an extra bedroom 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £329,250 | £450,000 (+37%) | £685,000 (+52%) | £1,050,000 (+53%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
