HR4 7 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HR4 (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 HR4 7 home went from £80,000 in 1995 to £356,500 in 2026, roughly 4 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 105%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2007; the current median sits about 20% below that. Someone who bought at the 2007 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HR4 7 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 2007 (+39.7% on the year before); the weakest, 2005 (−15.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
What HR4 7 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.1% | −5.4% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.3% | +0.8% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +3.2% | +0.4% |
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
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, 20 sales completed in HR4 7. 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 68 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.
Reading the HR4 7 market
Only 20 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HR4 7 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Against the HR4 district median, HR4 7 sits 32% higher, marking it as a dearer pocket of the district.
What tenants pay around HR4 7
The local authority for HR4 7 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.
Against the £356,500 median purchase price, a rent of £809 a month (£9,708 a year) works out at a 2.7% 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.

On the market in HR4 today
Turning to what is actually available: 99 homes on the market right now, from 6 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole HR4 district, not just HR4 7: live asking prices are collected per district.
34% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
- Pennine Close, Kings Acre, Hereford, Herefordshire
- Credenhill, Hereford, Herefordshire
- Whitecross, Hereford
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.

The price of an extra bedroom in HR
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HR area. The jump between sizes is local: in some areas a third bedroom adds a quarter to the price, in others nearly four fifths, so a national rule of thumb will mislead you here.
| 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%) | — | — |
Four years of recorded sales, split by built form and bedroom count. The register does not state bedrooms, so sizes come from each home's EPC record and a few homes will land one size out. Blank cells mean too few homes for the figure to mean anything.
The risers and the fallers

About the numbers: everything is computed from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data (Crown copyright, OGL v3.0), geocoded to the address; today's-money figures use the ONS CPIH index, and rents are the ONS Price Index of Private Rents by local authority. These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
