In cash terms the typical GL5 2 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £412,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 192%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. 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 2 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 (+40.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−18.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GL5 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +14.6% | +11.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.3% | −1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
GL5 2 recorded 28 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 106 sales a year before the financial crisis and 60 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.
What tenants pay around GL5 2
The local authority for GL5 2 is Stroud, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,039 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £742 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,660 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Stroud
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £412,500 median sold price, £1,039 a month is £12,468 a year, a gross yield of 3.0%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.
How GL5 2 trades
Only 28 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GL5 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Against the GL5 district median, GL5 2 sits 29% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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.

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

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
