In cash terms the typical HR5 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 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.
What HR5 has returned, per year
| 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% |
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.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 51% of the typed total. In 2021, the last year both were recorded here, a detached home traded at £342,500 against £83,500 for a flat, 4.1 times the price.

Sales activity in HR5
The year-by-year sales count
Recorded sales per year. The dip after 2008 is the financial crisis; the last bar is still filling in as recent sales get registered.
The monthly pulse, last five years
Sales as they reached the register each month. Expect the seasonal sawtooth, and discount the newest months while late entries land.
The register shows 38 HR5 sales across the most recent twelve months of data. 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. 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 HR5 market
This is a thin market: 38 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. 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. By median price HR5 sits at the bottom of its postcode area: the cheapest way in, with the least expectation already in the price.
What tenants pay around HR5
The local authority for HR5 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.
£809 a month is £9,708 a year, which against the £222,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 4.4%. 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.
HR5 (Lyonshall): the questions that come up

Are property prices falling in HR5 (Lyonshall)?
Is HR5 (Lyonshall) a good place to buy a house?
Where do HR5 prices go next?
No honest page predicts prices, so this one sticks to the record: the median is roughly flat over five years in cash but down 20% after inflation. Anyone weighing a purchase should read the volume chart with the price chart, remembering that these are completed sales, registered weeks after the deals were actually struck.
HR5's current homes for sale
Everything above is what homes in HR5 sold for. Turning to what is actually available: 11 homes on the market right now, from 4 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 15% above the HR5 median sold price.
Of everything listed here, 20% asks less than the sold record of comparable homes. The comparison behind each listing uses recent recorded sales of similar homes close by.
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.
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.
| 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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
