In cash terms the typical GL52 6 home went from £59,500 in 1995 to £418,000 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 223%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 15% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GL52 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 2014 (+20.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−17.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −0.5% | −2.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.9% | −1.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.3% | +0.5% |
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.
Sales activity in GL52 6
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.
GL52 6 recorded 71 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 278 sales a year before the financial crisis and 149 a year over the last five. Price without volume misleads: a median built on few sales jumps around, and one street can tilt it. Keep in mind too that the latest year is still filling in, since sales reach the register weeks or months after completion.
Rents around GL52 6
For renting purposes GL52 6 sits in Cheltenham. The ONS average private rent there is £1,249 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £861 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,892 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cheltenham
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £418,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,249 a month (£14,988 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.

What happens to GL52 6 prices now?

The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

Moving up a bedroom in GL: the cost
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the GL area. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.
