Abbeydale market report GL4 5, Gloucester
The GL4 5 (Abbeydale) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Every figure on this page comes from the public record: 6,442 sales registered with HM Land Registry in GL4 5 (Gloucester) since 1995, each one a completed purchase at a real price, plus current rental figures from the ONS. Nothing here is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release. Page updated 19 October 2026.
In short: 59 registered 2026 sales put the GL4 5 (Gloucester) median at £325,000, up 23% on five years earlier, with a mean of £339,800, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,710 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,442 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
GL4 5 is one sector of GL4 (Gloucester): a handful of streets, and the most local view the sold record can give. The price of that locality is lumpier charts, because each year's median rests on fewer sales.

House prices per square metre in GL4 5

In cash terms the typical GL4 5 home went from £60,500 in 1995 to £325,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 147%, 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 5 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 (+22.6% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−6.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GL4 5 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 year (since 2025) | +8.3% | +5.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 6 years (since 2020) | +3.2% | −1.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.2% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.1% | +0.3% |
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 GL4 5
Sales per year, counted
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
Over the last twelve months of data, 59 sales completed in GL4 5. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 293 sales a year before the financial crisis and 105 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.
Reading the GL4 5 market
This is a thin market: 59 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. Within GL4, this sector trades 21% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around GL4 5
GL4 5 falls under Gloucester, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,105 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £738 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,642, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Gloucester
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,105 a month is £13,260 a year, which against the £325,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.1%. 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.

Moving up a bedroom in GL: the cost
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%) |
| 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%) |
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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
