How May Lane, Dursley prices moved
The chart tracks the median May Lane, Dursley house price for every year with a recorded sale, from 2000 to 2021. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s | 4 | £140,000 | £255,039 |
| 2010s | 2 | £183,250 | £258,382 |
| 2020s | 1 | £165,000 | £168,587 |
The highest yearly median on record for May Lane, Dursley is £286,500 in 2018; the lowest is £68,950 in 2000. Across the full 22-year record the cash median has moved from £68,950 to £165,000.
In 2026 money that first median is worth £137,900, so the real change over the whole record is +51.2% — about +1.99% 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: -34.0% in cash against -52.0% 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 May Lane, Dursley 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. May Lane, Dursley 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 52 | 61.2% | £210,000 | £67,000 – £500,000 |
| Terraced | 18 | 21.2% | £127,500 | £48,950 – £230,000 |
| Flat or maisonette | 12 | 14.1% | £70,000 | £30,000 – £165,000 |
| Semi-detached | 3 | 3.5% | £245,000 | £53,950 – £249,000 |
Section 06
Ownership and new build in May Lane, Dursley
19 of the sales on record are leasehold and 66 freehold — 22.4% 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 £70,000 and the median freehold sale £197,500 — a gap of +182.1%. 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 | 19 | 22.4% | £70,000 |
| Freehold | 66 | 77.6% | £197,500 |
| New build | 3 | 3.5% | £76,000 |
| Existing home | 82 | 96.5% | £163,600 |
New builds sold for less than the median existing home — -53.5%. 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 3 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 May Lane, Dursley
Every certificate carries an energy efficiency band as well as a floor area. Across Stroud, 41.9% of 57,077 certificates sit in bands A to C, and 6.6% in F or G — the bands that cost the most to heat and are hardest to mortgage.
| Energy band | Certificates | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A | 535 | 0.9% |
| B | 8,471 | 14.8% |
| C | 14,906 | 26.1% |
| D | 19,502 | 34.2% |
| E | 9,916 | 17.4% |
| F | 2,899 | 5.1% |
| G | 848 | 1.5% |
The Office for National Statistics puts the mean private rent in Stroud at £1,039 a month as of Jun 2026 — £742 for a one-bedroom home and £1,174 for three bedrooms.
Against the median sale of £162,200 here, that rent is a gross yield of 7.69% 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 GL11 in Jun 2026 by Gloucestershire. 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.
Section 08
The neighbourhood around May Lane, Dursley
The 2021 census counted 121,104 residents in Stroud across 52,378 households. 73.9% of those households own their home and 25.9% rent — a split the sold record cannot show, because only owners appear in it.

How May Lane, Dursley compares
The median across the whole archive is £157,500. May Lane, Dursley sits above that national figure — +3.0%.
Within Dursley the street ranks 203 of 302 by median price, and its median is below the town figure of £180,000 (-9.9%).
Where an EPC floor area could be matched to the sale, the median works out at £3,971 per square metre, across 7 of the 85 sales on record. Price per square metre is the only figure that compares a two-bed flat with a four-bed house honestly.
The full range on record runs from £30,000 to £500,000. Extremes usually mean something unusual — a plot sold without a house on it, a transfer between family members, or a very large property — so the median is the number to trust.
May Lane, Dursley sits in Stroud, in the South West.
The Office for National Statistics puts the median home in Stroud at 9.1 times median local earnings of £36,363 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.

£3,971 per square metre, from the 7 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.

The latest sale shown here completed on 31 Oct 2024. 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.
