In cash terms the typical GL7 1 home went from £54,500 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 191%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 16% 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 GL7 1 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 2003 (+23.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2018 (−7.2%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What GL7 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +6.2% | +3.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.8% | −1.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.9% | −0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
Compound annual growth of the median sold price; the real column deflates by ONS CPIH. Annualised figures smooth the cycle (the chart above shows the cycle), and past growth is a record, not a forecast.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 91 sales completed in GL7 1. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 334 sales a year before the financial crisis and 184 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 kind of market GL7 1 is
Within GL7, this sector trades 19% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around GL7 1
The local authority for GL7 1 is Cotswold, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,255 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £871 a month for a typical one-bed to £2,044 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Cotswold
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Set against the £345,000 median sold price, £1,255 a month is £15,060 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: 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.

On the market in GL7 today
The live side of the market holds 120 homes at the moment, listed by 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole GL7 district, not just GL7 1: live asking prices are collected per district.
37% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: GL prices by size
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.

| Detached | — | £329,250 | £450,000 (+37%) | £685,000 (+52%) | £1,050,000 (+53%) |

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.
