GL7 4 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside GL7 (Cirencester). This is as local as the public record gets, but sector medians move on fewer sales than a district's, so expect the lines to be lumpier.

In cash terms the typical GL7 4 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £477,500 in 2026, roughly 7 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 238%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2016; the current median sits about 3% below that. Someone who bought at the 2016 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the GL7 4 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 1999 (+41.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2011 (−23.8%). 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) | +19.4% | +16.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +4.4% | −0.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.1% | −0.3% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.6% | +0.7% |
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.
Transaction volumes
Sales per year, counted
Annual recorded sales. The post-2008 trough is the financial crisis; treat the final bar as provisional while registrations catch up.
GL7 4 recorded 25 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 92 sales a year before the financial crisis and 63 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.
What homes rent for around GL7 4
GL7 4 falls under Cotswold, where the ONS puts the average private rent 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.
Against the £477,500 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.
The shape of the GL7 4 market
Only 25 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes GL7 4 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within GL7, this sector trades 12% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Is GL7 4 (Fairford) a good place to buy a house?
How much did a house sell for in GL7 4 (Fairford)?
Where do GL7 4 prices go next?

GL7's current homes for sale
Turning to what is actually available: 120 homes on the market right now, from 9 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole GL7 district, not just GL7 4: live asking prices are collected per district.
37% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

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.
What another bedroom costs in GL
What homes of each size actually sold for across the GL area, from the Land Registry record. Size steps are fiercely local. A third bedroom adds a quarter to the price in some areas and close to four fifths in others, which is why no national rule of thumb survives contact with a real market.

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

Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
