In cash terms the typical HR1 2 home went from £44,000 in 1995 to £220,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 130%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2008, and today's median remains roughly 25% under it: a 2008 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HR1 2 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 (+34.8% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−13.4%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HR1 2 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −7.0% | −9.1% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.5% | −4.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.5% | −1.3% |
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.
Transaction volumes
How many homes change hands
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The register shows 39 HR1 2 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 147 sales a year before the financial crisis and 83 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.
The shape of the HR1 2 market
Only 39 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HR1 2 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within HR1, this sector trades 28% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
What homes rent for around HR1 2
HR1 2 falls under Herefordshire, County of, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £809 a month (May 2026 figures). A one-bed averages £587 a month here and a four-or-more-bed £1,326, so size does most of the work in setting the rent.
Average monthly rent by size, Herefordshire, County of
ONS Price Index of Private Rents, May 2026.
£809 a month is £9,708 a year, which against the £220,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. Gross means before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax: treat it as a ceiling. The ONS publishes rents by local authority, so neighbouring districts under the same authority share these numbers.

What another bedroom costs in HR
What homes of each size actually sold for across the HR 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.
