HR1 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HR1 (Hereford). 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 HR1 3 home went from £70,000 in 1995 to £340,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 123%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 29% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HR1 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 1999 (+20.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2023 (−14.7%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HR1 3 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −11.7% | −13.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.3% | −4.9% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.2% | −0.2% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in HR1 3
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, 40 sales completed in HR1 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 107 sales a year before the financial crisis and 70 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.
The shape of the HR1 3 market
This is a thin market: 40 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. 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 HR1 district median, HR1 3 sits 11% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
Rents around HR1 3
The local authority for HR1 3 is Herefordshire, County of, and its ONS average private rent currently stands at £809 a month (May 2026 figures). Size sets most of the rent: one-beds average £587 a month here against £1,326 for four or more bedrooms.
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 £340,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.9%. 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. 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%) |

Medians of recorded sales over the last four years, by built form and bedroom count. Sold homes carry no advertised bedroom count, so sizes are estimated from their EPC records; a small number of homes will sit one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.

How this page is made: the statistics are computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to address level; inflation adjustment uses the ONS CPIH index; rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents at local-authority level. Medians of recorded sales, not valuations. Nothing on this page is financial advice.
