Lyonshall market report HR5 3, Kington
The standing HR5 3 (Lyonshall) property market report, rebuilt from the full public record every month. Underneath every chart here sit 1,932 registered sales in HR5 3 (Kington) since 1995, the HM Land Registry record of what buyers really paid, with ONS figures covering rents. Nothing is a valuation, an estimate or an asking price.
Sales recorded to 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: the 2026 median for HR5 3 (Kington) is £222,000, from 15 registered sales, up 1% on five years earlier; the mean is £248,500, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £2,680 per square metre over the last five years. Behind the figures sit 1,932 HM Land Registry entries going back to 1995, refreshed monthly, every one a completed sale rather than a valuation or an asking price.
HR5 3 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HR5 (Kington). 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 HR5 3 home went from £62,500 in 1995 to £222,000 in 2026, roughly 3.6 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 63%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2007, and today's median remains roughly 41% under it: a 2007 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HR5 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 2003 (+43.5% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−22.9%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Annualised returns
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −15.7% | −17.7% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +0.2% | −4.4% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +1.4% | −1.9% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +0.3% | −2.4% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
Sales per year, counted
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, 15 sales completed in HR5 3. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 73 sales a year before the financial crisis and 48 a year over the last five. Volume matters as much as price: when few homes change hands, the median gets jumpy and a single street can move the figure. The most recent year is always still filling in, because sales appear in the Land Registry weeks or months after completion.
What kind of market HR5 3 is
Only 15 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HR5 3 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. The record here is jumpy: year-on-year moves of ten per cent or more are common in the chart above, mostly a function of which homes happened to sell rather than the market lurching.
What homes rent for around HR5 3
HR5 3 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.
Set against the £222,000 median sold price, £809 a month is £9,708 a year, a gross yield of 4.4%: gross, before letting costs, voids, maintenance and tax, so a ceiling rather than a promise. Rents are published at local-authority level, so nearby districts in the same authority share these figures.

How much did a house sell for in HR5 3 (Lyonshall)?
Are property prices falling in HR5 3 (Lyonshall)?
Are HR5 3 prices heading up or down?
Prediction is not this page's business. Its business is the record, which says: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Read the volume chart with the price chart before acting on either, remembering that registrations trail the deals themselves by weeks.
What is for sale in HR5 right now
Turning to what is actually available: 11 homes on the market right now, from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole HR5 district, not just HR5 3: live asking prices are collected per district.
20% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Every listing is measured against recent recorded sales of similar nearby homes.
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.

What another bedroom costs 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.
