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: 6,431 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.

In short: 49 registered 2026 sales put the GL4 5 (Gloucester) median at £330,000, up 25% on five years earlier, with a mean of £349,000, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,710 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 6,431 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.

The going rate for a home in GL4 5

Take the 49 registered 2026 sales in GL4 5 and the middle price, the median, is £330,000. The mean lands at £349,000, a little above it, the familiar pattern where pricier homes stretch the average.

House prices per square metre in GL4 5

Per square metre, GL4 5 homes have averaged around £3,710 over the last five years of sales. The floor areas behind the figure come from Energy Performance Certificates, and the by-the-metre view is the fair comparison across home sizes.

For scale: the England and Wales median is £285,000, so GL4 5 trades 16% above the country as a whole.

In cash terms the typical GL4 5 home went from £60,500 in 1995 to £330,000 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 10% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.

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

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

Over the last twelve months of data, 49 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 102 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: 49 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. 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. Within GL4, this sector trades 22% 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.

£1,105 a month is £13,260 a year, which against the £330,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.0%. 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.

Will GL4 5 prices rise from here?
