HR8 1 is a postcode sector: one group of streets inside HR8 (Ledbury). 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 HR8 1 home went from £72,800 in 1995 to £389,600 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Inflation explains only part of it: in today's money the rise is still about 146%, a genuine increase in what a home here costs. The real-terms peak came in 2020, and today's median remains roughly 21% under it: a 2020 buyer is still waiting to get that price back in today's money.
Year-on-year change in the HR8 1 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 2020 (+51.3% on the year before); the weakest, 2021 (−24.7%). 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) | +12.9% | +10.3% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +6.4% | +1.5% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +6.0% | +2.5% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.6% | −0.2% |
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.
The turnover behind the prices
How many homes change hands
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.
The register shows 22 HR8 1 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 88 sales a year before the financial crisis and 62 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 tenants pay around HR8 1
For renting purposes HR8 1 sits in Herefordshire, County of. The ONS average private rent there is £809 a month (May 2026). 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 £389,600 median purchase price, a rent of £809 a month (£9,708 a year) works out at a 2.5% 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 kind of market HR8 1 is
This is a thin market: 22 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 HR8, this sector trades 22% above the district median: one of the dearer corners of its district.

How much did a house sell for in HR8 1 (Bosbury)?
Are property prices falling in HR8 1 (Bosbury)?
Is HR8 1 (Bosbury) a good place to buy a house?
Are HR8 1 prices heading up or down?
That question has no honest answer, only evidence. The evidence: the median is up 36% over five years in cash and up 8% 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.

Bedroom by bedroom: HR prices by size
The Land Registry record, split by size: what each kind of home actually sold for across the HR area. 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%) |
| Terraced | £175,000 | £210,000 (+20%) | £245,000 (+17%) | £317,000 (+29%) | — |
| Flat | £112,250 | £163,000 (+45%) | £262,000 (+61%) | — | — |
Built from the last four years of recorded sales by form and bedroom count. Bedroom counts are estimated from EPC records (the register carries none), so expect a small number of homes one size adrift. Sizes with too few homes to be meaningful are left blank.

These are medians of recorded sales, not valuations, and none of it is financial advice.
