In cash terms the typical HR8 home went from £60,000 in 1995 to £320,000 in 2026, roughly 5 times the price. Even after inflation that is a real rise of about 145%: homes here genuinely became dearer, not merely more expensive on paper. Measured in today's money the market peaked in 2020; the current median sits about 18% below that. Someone who bought at the 2020 peak has not yet seen that price back in real terms.
Year-on-year change in the HR8 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 (+34.9% on the year before); the weakest, 2008 (−14.4%). 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) | +1.6% | −0.8% |
| 5 years (since 2021) | +2.0% | −2.7% |
| 10 years (since 2016) | +4.1% | +0.6% |
| 20 years (since 2006) | +2.4% | −0.4% |
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.
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 £393,000 against £97,500 for a flat, 4.0 times the price.

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.
The last five years, month by month
Registrations by month. The repeating sawtooth is seasonality, and the right-hand edge always dips because the register lags completions.
Over the last twelve months of data, 197 sales completed in HR8. Like most of England and Wales, turnover never fully recovered from 2008: the market here averaged 358 sales a year before the financial crisis and 215 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 rental side of HR8
The local authority for HR8 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 £320,000 median sold price makes a gross yield of 3.0%. 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.
How HR8 trades
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. Among the 9 measurable districts of its area, HR8 ranks 3 by median price: firmly in the dearer tier.

Bedroom by bedroom: HR prices by size
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%) |
| 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.
