In cash terms the typical GL7 3 home went from £97,000 in 1995 to £475,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 125%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2016. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GL7 3 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 2015 (+27.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−16.0%). 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) | −12.8% | −14.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.1% | −4.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +0.1% | −3.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.2% | −0.6% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
GL7 3 recorded 23 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 100 sales a year before the financial crisis and 59 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.
Rents around GL7 3
The local authority for GL7 3 is Cotswold, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £1,255 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £871 a month here against £2,044 for four or more bedrooms.
Average monthly rent by size, Cotswold
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £475,000 median purchase price, a rent of £1,255 a month (£15,060 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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.
Reading the GL7 3 market
Only 23 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GL7 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Expect volatility in the annual figures: swings past ten per cent show up repeatedly above, and they usually reflect the mix of homes sold in a given year rather than genuine repricing. Against the GL7 district median, GL7 3 sits 12% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

Are property prices falling in GL7 3 (Fairford)?
Is GL7 3 (Fairford) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in GL7 3 (Fairford)?
Will GL7 3 prices rise from here?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 21% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.

What another bedroom costs in GL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the GL area, from the Land Registry record. How much a size step costs is a local fact: the third-bedroom premium runs from about a quarter to nearly four fifths depending on the area, and national rules of thumb miss it.

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.
