GL4 6 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside GL4 (Gloucester). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical GL4 6 home went from £40,000 in 1995 to £224,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 158%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2024. The market now sits about 15% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GL4 6 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 2004 (+26.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−12.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −12.6% | −14.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.2% | −0.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | +0.1% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Each bar is a year's recorded sales. 2008's dip is the financial crisis, and the newest bar always grows for a while as late registrations arrive.
The register shows 44 GL4 6 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 163 sales a year before the financial crisis and 107 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of GL4 6
The local authority for GL4 6 is Gloucester, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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.
Against the £224,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,105 a month (£13,260 a year) works out at a 5.9% 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.
The shape of the GL4 6 market
This is a thin market: 44 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 17% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

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%) |

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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
