In cash terms the typical GL5 1 home went from £48,000 in 1995 to £312,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 199%: 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 9% 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 GL5 1 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 2000 (+24.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−9.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.2% | −2.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.5% | −0.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
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
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 GL5 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 181 sales a year before the financial crisis and 111 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.
What kind of market GL5 1 is
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. 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.
Rents around GL5 1
The local authority for GL5 1 is Stroud, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,039 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £742 a month here against £1,660 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Stroud
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £312,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,039 a month (£12,468 a year) works out at a 4.0% 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.

The price of an extra bedroom in GL
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the GL area. 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 | — | £329,250 | £450,000 (+37%) | £685,000 (+52%) | £1,050,000 (+53%) |
| Semi-detached | £245,000 | £280,000 (+14%) | £330,000 (+18%) | £452,000 (+37%) | £727,500 (+61%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
