| 1996 | £65,700 | £138,558 | 132 |
| 1995 | £64,900 | £141,083 | 104 |
In cash terms the typical GL52 7 home went from £64,900 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 127%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2015. The market now sits about 32% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GL52 7 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 (+58.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−27.3%). 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) | −14.4% | −16.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.9% | −5.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.8% | 0.0% |
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 7
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 35 sales completed in GL52 7. Unusually, activity here runs above its pre-2008 level: 83 sales a year over the last five years against 64 before the financial crisis. 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.
The shape of the GL52 7 market
Only 35 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GL52 7 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.
Rents around GL52 7
GL52 7 falls under Tewkesbury, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,020 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £696 a month here against £1,663 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Tewkesbury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£1,020 a month is £12,240 a year, which against the £320,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.8%. 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: GL prices by size
What homes of each size actually sold for across the GL area, 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%) |
