| 1996 | £78,700 | £165,975 | 486 |
| 1995 | £71,000 | £154,343 | 427 |
In cash terms the typical GL6 home went from £71,000 in 1995 to £390,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 153%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2021; the current median sits about 28% 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 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 (+21.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2026 (−9.3%). 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) | −9.3% | −11.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −1.7% | −6.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.3% | −1.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 49% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £636,000 against £154,000 for a flat, 4.1 times the price.

Sales activity in GL6
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
GL6 recorded 265 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 567 sales a year before the financial crisis and 312 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
The rental side of GL6
GL6 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 £390,000 median sold price, £1,039 a month is £12,468 a year, a gross yield of 3.2%: 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.

What another bedroom costs in GL
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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
