HR2 9 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HR2 (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 HR2 9 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £300,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 130%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2005; the current median sits about 30% below that. Someone who bought at the 2005 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HR2 9 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 2005 (+38.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−27.2%). 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) | −1.3% | −3.6% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | −0.7% | −5.2% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +1.4% | −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.
Sales activity in HR2 9
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 39 sales completed in HR2 9. Turnover has held fairly steady across the cycle: about 94 sales a year recently, against 100 a year before 2008. 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 homes rent for around HR2 9
HR2 9 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.
Against the £300,000 median purchase price, a rent of £809 a month (£9,708 a year) works out at a 3.2% 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 kind of market HR2 9 is
Only 39 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HR2 9 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. 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. Within HR2, this sector trades 18% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

Will HR2 9 prices rise from here?

HR2's current homes for sale
The live side of the market holds 93 homes at the moment, listed by 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole HR2 district, not just HR2 9: live asking prices are collected per district.
Of everything listed here, 33% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.

- The Bines, Clehonger, Hereford, Herefordshire
- Longtown, Hereford, Herefordshire
The "under comparable sales" label measures each asking price against real nearby sales of similar homes: an opening position for a conversation rather than a valuation. The home itself still needs looking at.

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.
Bedroom by bedroom: HR prices by size
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%) |
| Terraced | £175,000 | £210,000 (+20%) | £245,000 (+17%) | £317,000 (+29%) | — |
| Flat | £112,250 | £163,000 (+45%) | £262,000 (+61%) | — | — |
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.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
