In cash terms the typical GL5 3 home went from £51,000 in 1995 to £353,800 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 219%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 10% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GL5 3 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 (+36.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−9.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GL5 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +16.0% | +13.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.8% | 0.0% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +5.1% | +1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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.
Transaction volumes
The year-by-year sales count
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.
GL5 3 recorded 26 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 131 sales a year before the financial crisis and 61 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 GL5 3 market
Only 26 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GL5 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Within GL5, this sector trades 11% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
Rents around GL5 3
GL5 3 falls under Stroud, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
£1,039 a month is £12,468 a year, which against the £353,800 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.5%. 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.

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. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.
