How Arle Road, Cheltenham prices moved
The chart tracks the median Arle Road, Cheltenham house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 1996 to 2025. The dashed line restates each year in 2026 money, so the two lines separate exactly as much as inflation has eroded the cash figure.
| Decade | Years with sales | Median paid | In today's money |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990s | 4 | £69,950 | £155,322 |
| 2000s | 8 | £142,000 | £258,682 |
| 2010s | 8 | £249,000 | £351,090 |
| 2020s | 5 | £337,750 | £345,092 |
The highest yearly median on record for Arle Road, Cheltenham is £370,000 in 2024; the lowest is £59,000 in 1996. Across the full 30-year record the cash median has moved from £59,000 to £345,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £127,985, so the real change over the whole record is +175.4% — about +3.56% a year after inflation. Cash growth and real growth are not the same story, and the gap is the part most price reports leave out.
Over the last decade alone the difference is stark: +33.5% in cash against -3.3% once inflation is removed. A buyer who sold at the end of that decade would have needed the real figure, not the headline one, to know whether they had actually gained.

The most recent sales
Every row is a completed sale as lodged with HM Land Registry. The right-hand column restates the price in 2026 money, which is the only fair way to compare a sale from the 1990s with one from last year.

Homes that sold twice
These addresses appear in the register more than once, so the same bricks are being priced twice. That makes them the strongest evidence of what actually happened to Arle Road, Cheltenham values — no mix of property types can flatter the number.

What sells here
The mix of property types explains a large part of any area's median. Arle Road, Cheltenham is dominated by the type at the top of this table, so its overall median leans that way.
| Property type | Sales | Share | Median paid | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Semi-detached | 170 | 74.6% | £197,000 | £36,150 – £410,000 |
| Detached | 38 | 16.7% | £222,000 | £60,000 – £430,000 |
| Terraced | 12 | 5.3% | £135,000 | £59,000 – £290,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 8 | 3.5% | £175,000 | £66,000 – £215,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in Arle Road, Cheltenham
10 of the sales on record are leasehold and 218 freehold — 4.4% of the market. Tenure is not a detail: a leasehold flat and a freehold house are different assets, and mixing them into one median hides the difference.
The median leasehold sale is £170,085 and the median freehold sale £204,000 — a gap of +19.9%. Most of that gap is property type rather than tenure itself: leasehold here is largely flats, freehold largely houses.
| Category | Sales | Share | Median paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leasehold | 10 | 4.4% | £170,085 |
| Freehold | 218 | 95.6% | £204,000 |
| New build | 16 | 7.0% | £278,000 |
| Existing home | 212 | 93.0% | £189,475 |
New builds sold for more than the median existing home — +46.7%. A new-build premium is normal: the buyer gets a warranty and nothing to fix, and the price is set by a developer rather than negotiated between two households.
A further 11 transfers for this area are on the register but are left out of every figure above. HM Land Registry marks them as additional price paid entries: repossessions, buy-to-let portfolio moves, transfers between companies or family, and sales at a discount such as right to buy. They are real records but they are not open-market prices, and including them would drag the median somewhere no buyer ever paid.

Living in Arle Road, Cheltenham
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Cheltenham, 45.3% of 65,902 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 4.0% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|

| B | 5,973 | 9.1% |
| C | 23,495 | 35.7% |

The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Cheltenham at £1,254 a month as of Jun 2026 — £865 for a one-bedroom home and £1,346 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £197,750 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.61% a year. It is a measured figure rather than an assumption: a real local rent over a real local price, before any cost of ownership.
No street-level crime was published for GL51 in Jun 2026. Several forces do not supply street-level data to police.uk, so this is a gap in the source rather than a crime-free month — and printing a zero would say something the data does not.

The 2021 census counted 118,836 residents in Cheltenham across 52,899 households. 64.3% of those households own their home and 35.6% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How Arle Road, Cheltenham compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. Arle Road, Cheltenham sits above that national figure — +25.6%.
Within Cheltenham the street ranks 1321 of 2232 by median price, and its median is above the town figure of £194,995 (+1.4%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £2,615 per square metre, across 44 of the 228 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.

Arle Road, Cheltenham sits in Cheltenham, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Cheltenham at 7.8 times median local earnings of £41,147 a year, measured to Sep 2025. Across England and Wales the same ratio is 7.6. That number, not the price alone, is what decides whether a place is within reach of the people who work in it.

Quick answers
Common questions about this data
What is the average house price in Arle Road, Cheltenham?
The median price paid in Arle Road, Cheltenham across every sale on the register is £197,750. The median is used rather than the mean because a handful of very large sales would otherwise drag the average away from what a typical buyer paid.
How many homes have sold in Arle Road, Cheltenham?
228 sales are on record for Arle Road, Cheltenham, the most recent completing on 22 May 2026. Every one is a completed transfer lodged with HM Land Registry, not an asking price or an estimate.
Have Arle Road, Cheltenham house prices actually risen?
In cash, the median rose +33.5% between 2015 and 2025. In 2026 money — that is, after inflation — the change is -3.3%. Both numbers are true; only the second one tells you whether buying here preserved value.
When were Arle Road, Cheltenham house prices at their highest?
The highest yearly median on record is £370,000, set in 2024. That is the cash figure; measured in 2026 money the peak may fall in a different year, because inflation reshapes the series.
What is the price per square metre in Arle Road, Cheltenham?
£2,615 per square metre, from the 44 sales where an EPC floor area could be matched to the address. Price per square metre strips out size, so a flat and a house can be compared on the same basis.
How current is this data?
The latest sale shown here completed on 22 May 2026. HM Land Registry publishes Price Paid Data monthly and a sale can take a month or two to appear after completion, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
