In cash terms the typical GL6 8 home went from £59,000 in 1995 to £350,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 173%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 21% below that. Someone who bought at the 2021 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GL6 8 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 2001 (+34.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−21.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GL6 8 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.4% | −13.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | 0.0% | −4.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.3% |
Each row is compound annual growth of the median; ONS CPIH supplies the real-terms deflator. Annualising irons out the cycle, which the chart above shows in full, and past growth records what happened rather than predicting anything.
How many homes change hands in GL6 8
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.
GL6 8 recorded 37 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 195 sales a year before the financial crisis and 86 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 GL6 8 market
This is a thin market: 37 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 GL6, this sector trades 10% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
The rental side of GL6 8
GL6 8 falls under Stroud, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £1,039 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £742 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,660, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Stroud
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £350,000 median sold price, £1,039 a month is £12,468 a year, a gross yield of 3.6%: 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.

These asking prices come live from estate agents publishing feeds to HomesIndex, refreshed each Monday and Thursday. They are a sample of the market rather than its entirety, and an asking price is not a sale price.
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.
| 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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
