In cash terms the typical HR1 1 home went from £64,400 in 1995 to £310,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 121%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2007. The market now sits about 11% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HR1 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 2002 (+24.2% on the year before); the weakest, 1996 (−6.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HR1 1 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | 0.0% | −2.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.5% | −2.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.5% | +0.1% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.5% | −0.3% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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.
The register shows 85 HR1 1 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 264 sales a year before the financial crisis and 185 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.
What tenants pay around HR1 1
The local authority for HR1 1 is Herefordshire, County of, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £809 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £587 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,326 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
Average monthly rent by size, Herefordshire, County of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
Against the £310,000 median purchase price, a rent of £809 a month (£9,708 a year) works out at a 3.1% 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.

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 HR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HR area. 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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £295,000 | £390,000 (+32%) | £585,000 (+50%) | £730,000 (+25%) |
| Semi-detached | £203,500 | £240,000 (+18%) | £286,000 (+19%) | £355,000 (+24%) | £530,000 (+49%) |

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. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
