Leominster market report HR6
The HR6 (Leominster) house price history in full, 1995 to 2026, in cash and in today's money. Underneath every chart here sit 10,641 registered sales in HR6 (Leominster) 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 July 2026; rents are ONS figures for May 2026. The page rebuilds with each monthly release.
In short: 98 registered 2026 sales put the HR6 (Leominster) median at £267,500, up 7% on five years earlier, with a mean of £314,700, and by floor area homes here have averaged about £3,020 per square metre over the last five years. Everything rests on 10,641 completed HM Land Registry sales since 1995, refreshed monthly; valuations and asking prices play no part.
HR6 is the postcode district covering Leominster in Leominster. Districts are a practical way to slice a market: small enough to mean something locally, big enough to have a steady flow of sales to measure.

In cash terms the typical HR6 home went from £55,000 in 1995 to £267,500 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Adjusted for inflation it still comes to a real rise of roughly 124%, so homes here got dearer in substance, not only in cash. The real-terms peak came in 2022, and today's median remains roughly 17% under it: a 2022 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HR6 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 (+32.1% on the year before); the weakest, 1997 (−7.8%). Single-year swings like these are why the annualised table below matters more than any one year's headline.
Detached, semi, terraced, flat: four markets in one
A single median hides the split beneath it. Sales of detached houses dominate the record here, 45% of the typed total. A detached home currently trades at £410,000 against £95,000 for a flat, 4.3 times the price.

What HR6 has returned, per year
| Period | Cash, per year | Real terms, per year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years (since 2025) | −3.3% | −5.5% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +1.4% | −3.3% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.0% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −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
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.
HR6 recorded 225 sales in the last twelve months of data. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 414 sales a year before the financial crisis and 244 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.
The shape of the HR6 market
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.
The rental side of HR6
The local authority for HR6 is Herefordshire, County of, and its ONS average private rent currently stands 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 £267,500 median purchase price, a rent of £809 a month (£9,708 a year) works out at a 3.6% 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.
HR6 (Leominster): the questions that come up
How much did a house sell for in HR6 (Leominster)?
Are property prices falling in HR6 (Leominster)?
Is HR6 (Leominster) a good place to buy a house?
Are HR6 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 7% over five years in cash but down 15% after inflation. Weigh the volume chart alongside the price one before deciding anything, and bear in mind every figure is a completed sale that reached the register weeks after completion.
What you could buy in HR6 now
Everything above is what homes in HR6 sold for. The live side of the market holds 96 homes at the moment, listed by 5 agents publishing to HomesIndex, at a typical asking price 2% below the HR6 median sold price.
33% of what is on the market here is asking below what comparable homes actually sold for. Each listing is compared with recent recorded sales of similar homes nearby.
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
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. Where too few homes exist to say anything meaningful, the cell is blank.
