In cash terms the typical HR4 8 home went from £65,000 in 1995 to £325,000 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. The real-terms peak came in 2004, and today's median remains roughly 24% under it: a 2004 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HR4 8 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 2004 (+31.4% on the year before); the weakest, 2025 (−20.1%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
The long view: annualised growth
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | +2.4% | 0.0% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.1% | −3.6% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.7% | −1.7% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.0% | −0.8% |
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.
Sales activity in HR4 8
The year-by-year sales count
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, 25 sales completed in HR4 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 95 sales a year before the financial crisis and 67 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 rental side of HR4 8
HR4 8 falls under Herefordshire, County of, where the ONS puts the average private rent at £809 a month (May 2026 figures). The spread runs from £587 a month for a typical one-bed to £1,326 at four-plus bedrooms, which is size doing most of the pricing.
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 £325,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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 kind of market HR4 8 is
This is a thin market: 25 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. Within HR4, this sector trades 20% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

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. 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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | — | £295,000 | £390,000 (+32%) | £585,000 (+50%) | £730,000 (+25%) |

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.
