In cash terms the typical GL54 5 home went from £79,000 in 1995 to £395,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2021, and today's median remains roughly 32% under it: a 2021 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the GL54 5 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 (+25.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−21.0%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −21.0% | −22.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −3.0% | −7.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.0% | −1.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
How many homes change hands in GL54 5
The year-by-year sales count
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
The register shows 35 GL54 5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 130 sales a year before the financial crisis and 103 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.
What tenants pay around GL54 5
For renting purposes GL54 5 sits in Tewkesbury. The ONS average private rent there is £1,020 a month (May 2026). The spread runs from £696 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,663 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Tewkesbury
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £395,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,020 a month (£12,240 a year) works out at a 3.1% 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.
How GL54 5 trades
This is a thin market: 35 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. Within GL54, this sector trades 8% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.

What you could buy in GL54 now
The live side of the market holds 83 homes at the moment, listed by 10 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole GL54 district, not just GL54 5: live asking prices are collected per district.
19% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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. 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%) |

Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
