Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the typical home in HR1 4 (Hereford) sold for £345,000 in 2026, the median of 31 registered sales, down 1% on five years earlier.

The figures cover 3,055 sales recorded by HM Land Registry since 1995 and refresh with each monthly release: completed sale prices, not valuations or asking prices.

HR1 4 prices by floor area

A typical HR1 4 home, priced year by year (1995 to 2026)

In cash terms the typical HR1 4 home went from £78,900 in 1995 to £345,000 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 101%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. In inflation-adjusted terms the high-water mark was 2020. The market now sits about 28% below it, so a peak-time purchase has yet to recover its real value.
Year-on-year change in the HR1 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 2003 (+42.1% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−11.6%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Growth per year, over one to twenty years
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −5.5% | −7.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.2% | −4.8% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +2.7% | −0.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.8% | −0.9% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 31 sales completed in HR1 4. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 111 sales a year before the financial crisis and 76 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.
Rents around HR1 4
For renting purposes HR1 4 sits in Herefordshire, County of. The ONS average private rent there is £809 a month (May 2026). 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 £345,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 2.8%. 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.
Reading the HR1 4 market
This is a thin market: 31 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. Against the HR1 district median, HR1 4 sits 13% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.

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.
| Type | 1 bed | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed | 5 bed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £295,000 | £390,000 (+32%) | £585,000 (+50%) | £730,000 (+25%) |

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. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.
The risers and the fallers
