In cash terms the typical GL7 6 home went from £97,000 in 1995 to £537,500 in 2026, roughly 6 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 155%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2022. The market now sits about 22% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the GL7 6 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 (+59.5% on the year before); the weakest, 1998 (−30.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +4.4% | +1.9% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.3% | −4.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.6% | +0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +4.0% | +1.2% |
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 GL7 6
How many homes change hands
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, 20 sales completed in GL7 6. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 77 sales a year recently, against 74 a year before 2008. 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.
How GL7 6 trades
This is a thin market: 20 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 GL7, this sector trades 26% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.
What homes rent for around GL7 6
The local authority for GL7 6 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.
Against the £537,500 median purchase price, a rent of £1,255 a month (£15,060 a year) works out at a 2.8% 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.

What another bedroom costs in GL
Real sold prices by size across the GL area, straight 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.
