In cash terms the typical HR6 8 home went from £50,000 in 1995 to £228,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 110%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2006; the current median sits about 12% below that. Someone who bought at the 2006 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HR6 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 2002 (+27.2% on the year before); the weakest, 2009 (−7.3%). 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) | +3.2% | +0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +3.0% | −1.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +3.9% | +0.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.1% | −0.7% |
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
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.
Over the last twelve months of data, 57 sales completed in HR6 8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 250 sales a year before the financial crisis and 132 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 HR6 8 is
Only 57 sales completed here in the last twelve months of data, which makes HR6 8 a thin market. Each figure rests on few transactions, so single streets can swing the median and the charts deserve a sceptical squint. Within HR6, this sector trades 15% below the district median: one of its district's cheaper corners.
Rents around HR6 8
HR6 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.
Against the £228,000 median purchase price, a rent of £809 a month (£9,708 a year) works out at a 4.3% 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 you could buy in HR6 now
Turning to what is actually available: 96 homes on the market right now, from 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex.
These cover the whole HR6 district, not just HR6 8: live asking prices are collected per district.
33% 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.
"Under comparable sales" means the asking price sits below what similar homes nearby actually fetched. Treat it as the start of a conversation, never a valuation, and always view the home.

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.
Moving up a bedroom in HR: the cost
Real sold prices by size across the HR area, straight from the Land Registry record. 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%) |

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.
